Agh I'm tired of people acting so aloof and saying stuff like "I'll make the best of the game".
Why are you just letting these videogame companies walk all over you? I think Superbot's heart was in the right place, but it's the greed of other companies that have prevented this game from being a true celebration of Playstation history.
Perhaps buying the game will empower Superbot as a company and encourage companies like Activision to provide their intellectual property to a sequel, but it's the fact that it's not like Activision will lose much from this game if it does badly, it's just greed on their part, and it enfuriates me that it's completely about the money. Activision has plenty, and it can afford to invest in a game that will likely succeed. It's complete horse**bleep**. It just goes to show that the big companies really no longer give a single **bleep** about fans and history, they just want to maximize and sustain profit at all costs. This game really should have been made in the PS2 era. In this day and age it's just pure corporatism.
The sick thing is, if we decide not to buy the game, to boycott it, Activision (and other offending companies) will probably look on it with an attitude like "oh, well I'm glad we didn't invest in that then". They won't care that they've spoiled a celebratory game because they didn't lose anything from it's failure. It's only Superbot that would suffer.
In truth I suppose I'm torn between buying it and ignoring it. I don't know what to do. What has the videogame industry become?
