I know, it's so awesome! I mean, you've found yourself a whole new market to milk serve! "Casual Gaming", damn, what a catchy name that is! It's like a dream come true; the whole family, even the grandparents, all united in front of your console, playing your casual gaming games. All day long. Most of them are even good for your health, and I've we are being honest with ourselves, we really need a bit more sport in our life, don't we? "What about the old school gamers who've spent their money on our stuff for decades, you ask?" Oh, that's so sweet of you, Game Industry! Don't worry about us, I mean it's not like you're totally going to abandon us old school gamers for that new market, right? It's not like the game shelves will be full of "How to Cook", "Mindtraining" and your new innovative games only, right? ... why- why are you suddenly looking so guilty, Game Industry?
... OK, I've probably made my point.
FUCK YOU, GAME INDUSTRY.
Reason for this: it's my birthday this weekend, and my parents needed me to finally find some presents they could buy me. Alas, our big electronic stuff shop had nothing for me. Nothing. No PS2 game, no DS game, just their shitty casual gaming garbage. Okay, the PS2 games just plainly sucked, but the DS shelves were really only filled with those. And shitty games of shitty movies. I FELT LIKE CRYING, SERIOUSLY. Thank God, that other game shop had a few Final Fantasy games for the DS. You don't need to say it, I know giving Squeenix money is worse than selling your soul, but I like the re-makes and I enjoy Revenant Wings much more than the original for the PS2. That game marks the exact point to me when Squeenix went down the drain with their "big" console games.
BUT I'M NOT BITTER OR ANYTHING.
