So what do you think of this hollywood takeover on the videogame industry?

Do you think its a good thing in the long run?
Should the companies you know and love have some sort of face or personality to address their fans with?
Does social media help or hurt companies appearance towards their supporters?

I personally feel theres a war going on with long time fans and new age company policies. It seems like old fans are being openly foward about what they think a game's direction should go in order to be successful but companies are riding on the 'entitlement' bus in retaliation.

That being said companies are lashing out not only towards other competitors but now disgruntled fans telling them theyre the ones who make games dont question our talent.

DLC seems to have cheapen a lot of well known brands long running series as they feel to stay afloat they need to space out how much money they should take in with each game release but when you see results from the callofduty audience your hands get tied on their own

Good Question
No I think vidya should stop being all about who has the biggest graphics or cut scene budget and should be about game play instead of being shovel ware that's only concerned about money.

I guess that's what happens when you try to merge two median together, though film and literature seem to be doing all right so far.

I think because theyve worked out a formula to actually coexist. Books are made into pretty okay-great movies
Video game movies have been consistantly shitty sans the older street fighter movie that was amazing. Hollywood cant make as much money by putting video games into movies so it seems they pay their way in by having famous directors, actors, advertisement put into the video games. It seems to the average facebooker that this shit is totally okay but the big heads are making a killing off that group so the future doesnt look too good
