Is she saying the responsible thing to do is buy a big-label game that's been in development for years, just because it's a big-label game that's been in development for years? I'd be a lot less hesitant to put $50 down on a new game if I could return the damn thing when I found out it was worth its weight in shit. If I buy a TV or a blender or a washing machine and find out it's broke or works like shit, the store doesn't tell me I can't return it if I bring it back the next day. Couple that with fewer and fewer games having demos (who'd release a free version of a shitty product and rob themselves of those deceitful sales?) and it's no wonder so many people pirate first and buy second, if they buy at all. Piracy is evil, that's why it killed Hulk! Being a shitty movie had nothing to do with it... Add a dash of bribing reviewers and magazines, a pinch of keeping review copies away from honest reviewers, and you have (at least you're making people think you have) the next Half-Life! Why else would so many games suck and sell like shit? The software pirate is the new reviewer that the industry fears like the plague itself - a pirate probably never would buy the game he pirates, sure, but the industry is more worried about the ten people that pass on the game when that one pirate tells his buddies the game is not even worth stealing, let alone buying.

And don't read PCGamer and GamesRadar.
Who, without getting paid off, would give a game like Crysis a score of 98%? How this shitty rag has survived (even thrived) into the new millennium where others have failed is just beyond my understanding. Remember when gaming magazines were thicker your typical restaurant menu?
