Re: WHY DO YOU GUYS KEEP DOING THIS?!?!

It's not really behind the times (purely from a demographic/financial point of view). I mean, there is an audience that likes stuff like that and will spend money on it. It's arguably short-sighted, in the sense that there are other, larger audiences that they might be able to access if their shit wasn't so terrible. But I suspect that, in general terms, there's tons of other developers and publishers who are going after or are going to go after those larger demographics, and it might make sense as a business strategy to stay after the terrible teenage boy nerd demographic for some developers.

So I don't think the rationale that this makes money is necessarily factually incorrect. I mean, they still shouldn't do it, because it's shit. But I think your friend is right in saying this is why it happens.

Oh he's definitely right that it is in fact a forumla that makes money. But he's not right, and the industry is not right, in saying that this is the only way to make money. It might have been back in the day, but games and gamers have changed a lot, which is why I said they're behind the times.
