Gaming has changed.

It's no longer about ideas, stories, or experiences.
It's an endless series of market battles fought by CEOs and publishers.
Gaming - and its consumption of fun - has become a well-oiled money machine.
Gaming has changed.
"Gamers" carry warped tastes forged by the paid media, use consoles that milk them for every last penny possible.
"Journalists" like those at IGN and G4 enhance and regulate their ignorance.
Developer control. Information control. Emotion control. Market control.
Everything is monitored and kept under control.
Gaming has changed.
The age of gaming has become the age of control...
...all in the name of creating mass amounts of profits.
And he who controls the profits...controls gaming.
Gaming...has changed.
When gaming is under total control, money grubbing becomes routine.

Wrong, Sonic and Mega Man's prime was back in the 90s/early 2000s. Now look at them, just a shadow of their former glory. If you know anything about these series you can't disagree. This isn't just the case with them, it's happening with games in general.

Back then, developers would try harder because gaming was smaller, so a better game would mean more cash. Now they don't have to worry, just make any generic RPG/shooter and wait for the money to roll in.
