I've been wary of the video game industry for a while, it's really really going downhill, fast. I've discussed it before, but what bothers me the most is how quickly Capcom turned into one of the best to one of the worst, from making great fighting and action games to stuffing all their products with shady business practices and nickle-and-diming their customers. It's frightening.
What there is a lack of in the industry is simply listening to consumers, which goes hand in hand with the video game journalism industry's favoring over the businesses than the consumer. While large companies will continue to listen to only sales numbers, it really shows when the third largest business in the industry gets voted for Worst Company In America over Bank of America for the second time in a row. As much as they can attempt to blame it on conservative issues over LGBT characters and ME3's ending, it won't work. Because that's not what the consumer is voting them for, and the consumer knows that.
