10 Things Ruining Video Games

1. Gamers

Say whatever you want to say about tantalizing advertisement of video games and how these are brainwashing us, bad habits in the gaming industry are allowed to exist because we keep buying these games that maintain them in the first place.

More of gamers will complain about rather than compliment every Assassin’s Creed, but as soon as we get a hint that next one will take place in Japan or Egypt, or just down the road where you live, we again jump straight onboard just because it is a super awesome concept. We are seeing this in Far Cry Primal, the same formula just re-skinned, stripped back and placed in prehistoric package and sent to market. And we are buying it!

Both on large and small scale, gamers are vocal but inactive demographically. When is the last time gamers or gaming community got together for public boycott of game or company for bad practice? Will we ever make Konami endure for their office malpractices, or take a stand against rinse and repeat game formulas of Ubisoft or agianst EA and Activision for Spamming us with new DLCs and micro-transaction in game adverts that we have already bought?

One thing to note here that Recent u-turn of Square Enix on their pre-order scheme for a game; Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and reversal of Microsoft on…. everything about Xbox One shows that publishers will listen if we get mad, we just need to do this more coherently.

Now, excuse me as I play Far Cry Primal. I heard you can ride mammoth in this game…
