The game industry is suffering from the same fate as the music industry. Overpricing and psuedo-monopolies. $20 per music CD and $50 per game. The problem with games is that a great many of them suck! Cookie cutter code garbage! They look different on the outside, but are basically the same flavor. I have about a 50% "sucks" rate for games I buy without checking reviews first. And now most decent review sites want a membership fee.
I'm not saying that makes piracy right, but it does make it worse. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm buying less music and less games than I have in my entire life because of my disgust with the industry!

Imagine if everyone in that plays computer games actually tried to track down every single case like this. There'd be no escape. [img]smile.gif[/img]
