Games

I swear gamers have the memory of a gnat

It's more a "sucker born every minute" thing.

This is what happens everywhere: they'll just keep chancing it until such a time as it's acceptable.

Don't know. Don't play a whole lot of Bethesda games. Didn't play Oblivion. New gamers join the ranks every day. Not everyone has been gaming since the 80's.

You have to understand.

The overwhelming bulk of gamers just don't care

Nothing will stand in the way of getting their current precious. Not even their own complaints and bitching.

They'll sit there and complain about how a company is evil, its practices exploitative, and how everyone should avoid buying from them so they can die in the fires of Bankruptcy.

Then the second the next game/expansion/DLC/Whatever is announced, they are immediately in line to preorder the ultra deluxe mega fuck you 500 dollar package. because it comes with a unique mount and a special armor skin, and they just cant miss those things! they're rare! and they'll never be able to get them otherwise! /s

And then they'll go into the obfuscated-cash-shop and spend another 700 dollars on digital bullshit.

Then, when they are all done, the overwhelming majority of them will come back to the internet, and cry and whinge and moan about how a company is evil, its practices exploitative, and how everyone should avoid buying from them so they can finally die in the fires of bankruptcy.

Cause the majority of gamers are brain damaged fucktards who, at the end of the day, just love throwing their wallet at things.

Well most modern gamers are probably like 14 years old and probably never even played Skyrim. So I'm not surprised young kids are buying this creation kit garbage with Mommy's credit card.
