I don't see the argument personally.
If a game is crap, then don't buy it. Anyone with an internet connection has more than enough sources to find out almost everything about a new game (sometimes including demos) to decide if it's going to be there sort of thing or not. :bye:
I don't buy many Brand-New games myself (prefer to wait for budget titles - that justify the games I'm paying for), but there are a few exceptions (e.g. Half-Life 1, Hitman 2, Deus-Ex 2, C&C RedAlert 2) people may not agree with my preference of games... but notice how most of them are sequels.
The developers constantly making sequels does mean that there's a lot of crap out there. But that doesn't mean they they should stop doing it. It's still pushing innovation.
Who, in there right mind, can tell me that GTA: San Andreas does not blow GTA1, GTA2 (not to mention GTA3 and GTA: Vice City) completely out of the water? :bleh:
If you avoid the rubbish and only buy the innovative stuff, the developers (and publishers) would eventually get the idea.
Question: Would Doom3 be any better of a game if it hadn't been made by Id and hadn't been called Doom?
A rose, by any other name would smell as sweet?????????
