Modern Games Industry: How'd We Get Here?

They exist, but they're both few in numbers and very rarely sell well. There are games that aren't purely for entertainment, but they're a minuscule minority.

I love it when Amazon has summer bundle sales and I can buy hundreds of books for penny on the dollar.

Well, you were the one that said that "video games are a purely entertainment medium"

And those cooking games sold a lot!. Far, far more than any shmup released in the last 10 years. In fact, probably more than all shmups released in the last 10 years put together!

So the reason why you can't find good games in Steam but you can find good books in Amazon is because there are "bundle sales"?

Wow, that's weird. I normally just use the search function!

You still haven't explained how books and video games are equal entities on equal terms.

I don't know, I'm completely at a loss. How can buying good games on Steam be incredibly difficult because there are too many games and buying good books on Amazon be easy when there are a million times more? Or ten hundred times more movies?

I'm truly baffled.

It's because you're wrong. Don't worry man, it happens to all of us from time to time.

Let it go man. I know you are still upset because I said the American healthcare system wasn't the best in the world, but you can't go to every single thread and act like a dick because of it, c'mon.

What are you even talking about? I think you've got me confused with someone else.

Going the ad hominem route isn't going to help your case.

Not at all, Mr "Please keep your political opinions out of the gaming side of the forum."

There's no "case". You are just acting like a dick whenever you see any of my posts because you are upset for god knows what. It's ok, I just wish you didn't act like that.

Okay, even I'm confused now. I don't see where Xumy posted anything in that health care discussion.
