What game are you looking foward to the most this winter?
AceHigh:
I would say Ubisoft is the worst with their ridiculous DRM that only hurts legitimate customers. Way to bite the hand that feeds...
Bloodfox:
Yeah, DRM ends up only punishing the paying costumer since pirates can remove DRM easily. Still I see Activision as a worse publisher because of its greed, squeezing every penny they can from their costumers.
AceHigh:
Oh, I don't mind them squeezing money out of the customers. No, that is business.
What I really hate is when publishers outright bully developers, when they take the biggest cut, take IP from them and on a whim close them down just like that. You think customers have it bad? Developers, the people that use countless of hours to make a game for us to enjoy get fucked over by publishers that are little more than loan sharks who don't even like video games.
EA has closed down so many talented studios, it's simply unforgivable.

I think the firing of West and Zampella from the company THEY MADE is unforgivable... especially since neither of them got their royalties from MW2. Then PS3 owners got Black Ops in 540p (yeah, basically SD resolutions) and you needed a super computer to run BO on PC... yet Activision is trying to milk as much profit from the biggest fanbase (Xbox 360).
At least DICE is being allowed to make Battlefield 3 for PC as the lead platform while the console versions get a very close backseat (yet both are stellar looking console games too).
Personally speaking, I'm liking how id is looking right now. RAGE looks like one awesome game that blends a lot of great ideas from other shooters while still having a rewarding questing system. Not only is RAGE a new IP (unlike MW and BF), but they are striving to stay true to their shooter roots along with making the consoles 60 fps. Only two more weeks until it's released (I'll be playing it on PC).
SeventyX7:
I don't get the appeal of rage. It doesn't look like it's really got any personality to it. So far the reason to get it seems to merely be it's a "good FPS."
There's already like 2 dozen of those...
