Self-Quote: Self-Help
All this self-help business is based on the false idea that we don't live as we should because we don't know what's best for us, and not because we don't want what's best for us.

CONSOLE GAMES
I don't have a video game console since my Intellivision in the early 80s.
My two preferred game genders are First Person Shooters and Strategy (Real Time, Turn Based, any) and luckily, both suck in console.
They are trying to make Strategy games for consoles, like Civilization V. I hope they never succeed, because all games that goes from PC to consoles became over simplified and limited. Want examples? Civilizations series -> Civilizations Revolution; Battlefield early series (1942, Vietnam, BF2) -> BF Bad Company series (and - I hope not - BF3).
I recently bought BF Bad Company 2 complete and, being an old school BF Vietnam player, I was terribly disappointed with it. OK, the graphics are perfect. OK, there is a single-player campaign. But the multiplayer has only a very few vehicles (when BF1942, BFV and BF2 had dozens different vehicles each). Either they are too lazy or too greedy - why making a deep game if you can make a new one next year and sell like hell?
Console = fast food of games.
BTW, damn you game industry for creating the DLCs. Not long ago, the developers continued to improve the games for free, releasing new maps, weapons, units, even game modes, in each update. Now you need to pay U$ 2.00 for a freaking new character texture?! Are you kidding?
PS: of course they make these new console-oriented games impossible to mod. If you let people making great new free stuff for your game you can't sell crappy DLCs. This business is twisted.
