[citation][nom]noblerabbit[/nom]I encourage the young gaming enthusiasts of today, to venture into the likes of kickstarter.com and dethrone the cancer that is EA, Activision, and now Blizzard. Don't waste your precious time playing these corporate infused game engines, where all the magic is missing unless you pay 50 times the purchase price of your initial game. It is big business today, no doubt, but NOT as your GAME ENGINE!!!![/citation]As the average age of a PC gaming enthusiast keeps increasing on a yearly basis, what you dream - youths dethroning the "Gaming Establishment" - is unlikely to happen. There aren't enough youths entering the gaming market where those three companies are competing to replace those of us who are leaving or have already left.
The second problem is not that "the magic is missing." Rather, the problem is that today's youth do not see how it is magic at all.
