If that's all you took away from my post -- if that's really it, every bit of it -- then perhaps you should put on your big-boy pants before reading anything else I have to say in the future, because I'm going to tell you right now that some of it might be naughty and not all of it will be nice. I make no apologies for speaking my mind and telling you what I think of the man and why I think it.
It absolutely disgusts me that we, the consumers are being treated worse as time goes on. It also disgusts me that when someone like Cliffy B., an industry guru notorious for defending questionable-at-best practices, comes along and tells us that it's all okay and that we should understand that it's necessary, there are average Joes silly enough to soak it all up and believe every word that he says. Have you not learned from the past? Have you not seen what they're doing? Even Bleszinski said in the opening paragraphs of his rant that money comes first and foremost, and I'll guarantee you that whether it be Cliffy B. telling us that it's all okay or one of EA's head honchos claiming that consumers are in love with microtransactions, it's all just crap being served to you by the truckload to make you settle down and believe that if you just accept these things, it will all be okay (and that everyone else accepts and approves of them, too).
