they make you buy the cool hype consoles that your friends are buying. And make you buy all these kick ass multiplayer games. Every year, they'll have an new updated year version; i.e. Madden '06, Madden '07, Madden '08 etc etc...

You're spending $50-60 on each game...

THEN every four or five years, they'll update their console systems into a new one with better graphics and gameplay.

Video game executives suck major ass! :mad:

Thank god for the interwebz, eh...we can download 'em suckas for free! woo-hoo!

    They don't make you do anything.

    I've been a huge video game fan my whole life, and I don't think I've paid more than $30 for any game (except for Guitar Hero with the Guitar) in the last 5 years.

    The idea is like that of the Game Boy back in the 90's (Gods blessing be upon them) Where they make the system and the games, then they make all kinds of stuff you have to buy to use the games or to make it easier to play. With the game boy as an example; the made magnifiers and lights that you attach so you can see better and such.
    Pirates had democracy too.

    That's why I dont bother buying consoles anymore. I bought a sega megadrive, then a PS1 and an N64...since then I aint bothered, I prefer to play on the pc

    have you been living under a rock for the last 10 years??? Consumerism and market research are the way of the future buddy.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    just stop buying shitty EA games. they treat their workers as slave labor and couldnt give a shit about the fans of their games. too bad they own half the major franchises, and buy up any other successful titles to release shitty sequels. I would never work for them. hopefully. they are getting harder to avoid.
