Well the new way of gaming is better for the casual gamer...but the hardcore gamer is pretty much getting shafted.
-Shorter games
-buying in-game Items?
-etc etc
I understand why Devs are going that way. Take 2~3 months make a simple game (lower cost) sell for 50$ (millions buy) massive profit. /toss in a few dlc (10$ each) way more profit.
Sadly I don't like how its going since I hate playing a gamer and finishing it within 30~2hr after buying it...
