I hate to say it, but good. I feel for those losing their jobs, but it's time to bring back smaller game dev companies that produce titles of substance.

100% agreed. We don't need games filled with padding content and realistic graphics. We need FUN games.

What are you talking about!!! Halo, Call of Duty, and Battlefield are all really fun games and absolutely totally unique. When a sequel comes out its multiplayer is amazing right away and all the best playlists are there with tons of maps right away! I never have to ask “why didn’t they include the playlist or mode from the last one that everyone loved” just to wait a year for some DLC that is the exact thing from the prior game.

cough nuketown cough

Halo specifically even gets the community involved by letting them make maps and then using those maps to deliver new experiences for players. They never reuse parts of maps in other maps that could be seen as lazy or obvious.

Just in case people can’t tell from my tone /s.
