yeah, if that's all that stopped it, then it probably isn't worth fighting over

Copyright bullshit is a big part of it too. The nature of advertising as well I believe.
Nintendo forcing "innovation" down everyone's throat isn't new but the amount that they've been doing it has increased exponentially the past two generations. I shelved my Wii some 4 years ago haven't looked back, laughed off the Wii U.

I'm confused on what you mean by what is wrong with the video game industry. If you are referring to the industry now vs in the 90s (or something similar), nothing is wrong.

I guess someone has to feel that way. It's easy to forget that nearly half the country voted for the dude with the magical underpants too.

Statistics would say otherwise. Just because you are stuck in the past doesn't mean the industry should be.

Learn2context.
You're the only person in this thread thus far who seems to give a rats ass about these companies' profits. By your logic EA games must be the most amazing company to ever exist.

I never mentioned profit. People agreeing on opinions =/ it being right.

For example, most people think you are stupid, but is that correct? No (For arguments sake let us say no, even though you really are).
