http://kotaku.com/5893236/christian-all ... ickstarterQuote: And what happened when he pitched his tactical shooter to publishers? Mind you, he was one of the top designers on Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Halo Reach.
The pitch hasn't gone so well. "It's like pitching a flight sim," Allen says. And the publishers rattle off the excuses: "'It's a super-vocal audience.' 'They don't buy a lot of games.' 'They buy one game a year.' 'Console gamers are too impatient; they won't play this kind of game.' Console gamers literally are too dumb to play this kind of game.'
Quote: Console gamers literally are too dumb to play this kind of game Quote: Console gamers literally are too dumb to play this kind of game Quote: Console gamers literally are too dumb to play this kind of game A publisher said that. Everything I hypothesized about modern gaming is all true, you may bow to me now. Quote: Really?
Really, Allen said. "I won't say which publisher, but, yes, literally, 'console gamers are not as smart as PC gamers.' The logic is that, well PC gamers can install drivers and video cards. Console gamers are just 15-year-olds who sit in front of their couch and press a button. Are you happy now that you know what EA sees you as yet?

SO true. "PC gamers are smart enough to install hard drives and video cards. Console gamers are just 15 year olds who sit on their couch and push a button. But I won't bow to you, sorry.

Kinda funny when some console gamers do both(PC, Xbox 360), but whatever.

But I won't bow to you, sorry. HURR DATS WUT AXELDETH THINX That's not what I was saying at all, if you read what I posted you would have seen I was talking about how the publishers think about the console market.

I was gonna post something incredibly witty and insightful, and yet totally random, right here. Had it all written up and everything. Five paragraphs of sheer brilliance.
But screw it. You get this instead.

If you sit butt-naked on a cold metal chair, you have a 2% chance of literally freezing your ass off.
