Please Stop Making Games

A neat article I saw on Digg. I think it's pretty true. It's probably not like this for everyone, but I stopped beating games regularly after the N64/GBA stopped.

Doesn't apply to me since I stay retro...



and don't have enough money to buy every new game

The same with me, but you must admit, that it is at least very simmilar

And one thing is for a fact - I read about videogames WAY more, than I really play them. Sometimes I don't touch any game for days. But every single day, I spend a few hours reading about games, watching game videos, talking about them and so on.

Stop making games for only one year?

Backlogs are the result of having a lot more disposable income and a lot less free time than when you were a kid. When I was a kid, I played the crap out of Dragon Warrior III and IV because I'd have to wait until next Xmas or my next bday to get another game.

These days, I play a game until I hit a part that bores me, then I plunk down a bit more cash for another game...

This is the way it is for me. Except every summer, I take any and all cash I collected thats disposable, and I throw it onto ebay for games, games, and more games. Play them over the summer. Spread them out over the next year. Then I rinse and repeat.

This just kills me.

I have a new game arriving at an average rate of one a week. And these are just the games that I've had on preorder because they looked good. Then toss in the random older games that I pick up because I've heard something good about it or I remember that it came out years ago. So I bounce around between games like crazy.
