Ebaying your consoles is only natural. It is hypocritical to complain about it when you live and embrace the capitalistic lifestyle in so many other ways. I don't see people complaining when Capitalism benefits them. They only complain when they can't get their toy for cheap! Well Wa-fuckin-wa. Grow up you hypocrites.
As someone who has worked on American games for the Japanese market at one of the biggest publishers in the world, I can attest that there is almost no effort put into localizing them. Translations are done by one semi-literate japanese-speaking american person and not double-checked by anyone else, japanese or otherwise. I have shown a few translations to Japanese friends and they laugh at how badly they are written. We here in America laugh at the occasional mistake in foreign games but our games to them are 100 times worse. American game companies are just not run as well. The games are not as well-made, and Japanese buyers have very high standards. This article comments that Japanese people want to play Mario Kart ds and not Quake 4. No shit. Mario Kart is flawlessly put together and rated one of the top games of all times. Quake 4 is a mediocre title full of bugs. Even our biased wishy-washy American game critics gave it a blah score. So this is really a pretty understandable phenomenon.
This is stupid. These ideas have so many ideas that he will be a laughingstock by morning. Clearly he is not a serious candidate. He wants to get rid of all City governments? Great idea. And taxes on abortions means rich people get safe abortions in hospitals and poor people have to go down an alley and risk infection and death. Not fair. He is going to tell us what we can drink? Because companies aren't going to make sodas that aren't profitable. That's not American. He is going to outlaw violent video games? Cause companies don't make unprofitable games by choice. This guy is a typical rich white oil man from texas. He doesn't think and he likes to talk shite.
I think this happens to us all. Have you ever found yourself racing to finish a game just so you can move on to the next one rather than because you are enjoying it? You know what I am talking about, the compulsion to complete a game just so we can say we completed it? That is not good. The next time you find yourself doing that just stop and turn it off. It is not about fun at that point.
