While I understand where he's coming from, The companies he mentions though have the ability to adapt alot more quicker than Gearbox ever could. AND I wish ID/Crytek would hurry with their releases though.
Can't say I liked what Pandemic made recently all that much. I noticed them with the first Mercenaries and some previous games, BUT Merc2 disappointed me, much more than I had originally hoped. They should take this opportunity and run actually. EA wouldn't have helped them anyway, they only really wanted Bioware in the first place.
To all former Pandemic employees....Infinity Ward their asses and go creates games you want to do, make them good and just know EA HAS ALWAYS DONE CRAP LIKE THIS and are you really surprised? Really?
Why stop them? They will kill their base by a minimum of 80% or more and drive other IP to out perform them. Problem is Activision/MS is stupid enough to entertain this kind of thought. If Sony ever gets there heads out their asses and really embrace online as they should. They could put a real dent into Xbox Live...
I WILL NOT SPOIL ANYTHING. Played this scene...and I'll admit, I didn't even fired my gun once. It did seem wrong and I wanted to just shoot the terrorist and his buddies in the head and get them out the way. But I understand what the story they told with it.
That said, my best friend (current marine officer) said that kind of $hit happens for real and while harsh for civilians that's just SOME of the crap they really go through and these things will NEVER be told/shown to American or foreign press. Just understand that some truths can't be told to regular civilians/people. It would make their jobs that much harder...Sorry, but its just reality. Don't like it? Do something about it...
If games and movies don't develop some mutual respect, all we can expect are films that are really bad action games and games that are really bad films, says Steven Poole.

A Pay-To-Play shooter....Hmmm...Why? When there will be others who will emulate it for free and possibly be better...Very interesting.
