Drake...PLEASE SHUT UP IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!! I mean having opinions is one thing but to blather on like you know what you're talking about (and you obviously don't) is really disturbing. You have no idea how industry, especially the game industry which is so desperately want to be part of, works. Monopolies are never good! They never foster creativity or advancement. Competition fosters creativity. One game company has to make their game better than another company so it sells better and more. The only way a monopoly like that would work is if gamers just rolled over, shut up, and just accepted whatever the industry rolled out. Luckily there are still some developers (mainly PC developers) who can still operate independantly and make games that they want to make. Even though most of those are given budgets by the publishers, they have general freedom on how they want to make the game. However, usually once a development firm is engulfed by a publisher (EA mainly), they are forced to churn out products that stupid consumers like you would just gobble up. Jesus, and don't give that "I'm only 14 lol" bullshit. What do they teach you in school? It's pathetic. DRAKE'S A COMMIE!!! Also, and this isn't me being mean, this is me trying to teach a lesson. You are horribly misguided. If you try to enter the video game industry with that attitude, you'd be laughed no matter how awesome your Carmack-like skills are. I just thought I'd share a quick example on how monopolies suck: Microsoft. Do you know why IE sucks so much? Because there was no decent competition till Firefox started taking marketshare from them. Now they have announced IE 7 to be released BEFORE Longhorn which was no expected by anyone. The competition forced them to innovate and make a new browswer.
