"Let's face it: Square Enix' current line-up of games is made up of entries from known franchises that promise good sales. Sure, we're still waiting for Last Remnant and Infinite Undiscovery even if we have no idea how they'll be like, but aside from those big names, the rest of Squeenix' promising games are either of Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest lineage...In this list, we'll take a look at games which deserve their sequels."
From Horse Armor to Mass Layoffs: The Price of Greed in Gaming. Inside the decades-long war on game workers and the players who defend them.
maybe a real enemy is people who use terms like "the real enemy"
there can be more than 1 bad thing, t's not like a kids show with 1 big bad
Executives seem to often have an obsession with perpetual revenue growth. There is always a finite amount of consumers for a product regardless of growth. Additionally, over investment is another serious issue in gaming.
honestly, the "real" enemy of gaming, is ourselves
if nobody bought horse armor, shitty dlc would have died almost overnight
if we stood firm and nobody bought games from companies that were bad with layoffs, it would be solved
we're the idiots supporting awful business practices, we are the ones enouraging it
Greed and greedy people have and always will be the main issue for everything wrong in the world. Everything is a product to be exploited for monetary gain. Even when there are things that could help progress us along for the sake of making our lives easier that thing must be exploited for monetary gains. Anything that tells you otherwise is propaganda to make you complicit.
I've never thought "DEI" (although the way most people use it doesn't match it's real definition) is the problem with games. Good games have continued to be good when they have a diverse cast, and likewise, bad games have continued to be bad. There isn't a credible example I've seen where a diverse cast has been the direct cause of a game being bad.

I subscribed to this not knowing about how some of the proceeds go to St. Judes.
Really cool that some of the money goes there.
Even if people don't subscribe to the mag, it might bring people to the charity.
Though Unearthed Arcana's content primarily consists of subclasses and spells, WOTC's latest UA drop is set to shake up Dungeons and Dragons' future.
I am big square Enix Fan, Square is the reason i own both PSP and DS, because they usuallly remake all there all time classic on portables. I wish square Would remake Chorono trigger for the DS and final fantasy seven for the ps3.
Ehrgeiz was one of my favorite fighting games of all time. A great game, but it will be hard to remake it for This-Gen, without making it a piece of garbage. Hopefully they do remake it, and it is good.
If they remade Chrono Cross or FF7 I'm sure that would easily sell millions in no time flat. A remake of Xenogears(not Xenosaga which was a great series but was a little too much for some to people to get into)would sell well also. And there is no doubt that a new Mario RPG(not paper mario but like the original Mario RPG) would sell equally as well. That would be a game that would make me get a Wii.
I don't know if it would sell well but i'd love to see Vagrant Story 2. The original is one of my all time favorite games.
About effin' time someone mentioned Einhander!!
