It was about what that guy said. It's a good point, but I've read it way too many times on the internet. And more often than not those people are still buying the games they claim to hate, from the companies they claim to hate. Words do nothing if you're not keeping that money in your pocket.
To be clear, I'm of the same mentality as far as how the industry is tipping toward the wrong ideals. I tire of long winded cinematic experiences. I don't buy DLC and I don't buy first person shooters, and it sucks that that is the dominating genre right now to the detriment of all others. Not my type of game, yeah? What I WILL do though, is buy the games I DO like, and play them and enjoy them.
And I'm also glad that customers resist and raise a stink about shady practices in the industry (if they're not buying into them anyways in the first place anyways). To some limits of course, sending off jerk emails to tech support isn't a solution.
I can't stand people who throw blanket statements around about how there are no more good games anymore. That is completely false. There is more quality content on the market right now than there ever has been.
