From That Aussie Game Site: "Gamers today are a fickle bunch; we complain about nearly everything companies do to make money and sometimes we forget that a company exists for one reason, to make money. This leads to a sense of entitlement with some gamers that they disserve certain things from the gaming companies that are willing to invest their money into the industry.
Of course with gamers, as is their right to do, they voice their opinion like I am doing now. That doesn’t mean their opinion is right (or even logical), because they tend to have a view that they, as a gamer, are entitled to things for free."

Eiyuden Chronicle is finally here, and The Nerd Stash points out the game's comparison to Suikoden, as well as the love Yoshitaka Murayama put into it.
Social media was set ablaze over people saying gaming in 2024 is in a rut, but is there any merit to it? Not in my opinion. Let’s discuss
Gaming has been great. The industry however has been taking hits here and there. Nintendo is prepping for next gen, Sony has no first party, and mcsft has...who knows? I guess that's why it seems like gaming is in a rut for some. 3rd party and indies has been amazing though.
Personally I'm enjoying the sh out of gaming these last few years. All these great games, it takes me back to snes ps1 days where there was so much variety. In all my gaming years I think the ps3/360 was the worst of it. It was first person shooter after first person shooter, variety went out the window because that's when development really started rising for most devs even indies. I think all 3 console makers have done well with helping indies out lately to an extent. The variety started coming back during ps4 Era and now it's full blown. I just picked up eiyuden 100 heroes and man this sh takes me back. An actual jrpg releasing these day. I thought it was the end after only like 10 of them released for ps3 and 360(not literally but it was slim pickings)
we had a few hits this year alreadyz so im not sure where this "gaming is in trouble" comes from lol
and theres still alot more to come
2024 has been a banger for me, let’s see Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Relaoaded, FF7 Rebirth, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Stellar Blade is next up to bat for me. So yea, I don’t know what this “rut” is unless you hate RPGs.
good points. all i'm entitled to is that the game i paid $60 for works. that's it and that's my only expectation. if you buy a book youre not entitled to part 2 or any short stories the author writes for free, same for movies. "well i should get the extra footage in the directors cut for free" it doesn't work that way.
The voting with are wallets part is true; it seems I'm always in the minority because companies still release 15$ 3 map map packs and charge for online. It kinda of sucks to vote by not paying only to always lose to the people that don't mind paying. Online transactions are funny, it's not supply and demand it's getting the maximum price for an infinite supply.
