I have been reading recent reviews of some of the current PC game crop that has come out in the past month. After reading various reviews as well as first impressions by gamers it seems like the finished products we as gamers are getting may not be as polished as we would like.
My questions are:
Is it a matter of gamers having higher and higher standards after each new batch/generation of game?
Is it a matter of game companies rushing to meet due dates and forgoing further testing to enhance the finished product?
Is it just about getting a box on the shelf/download list to get the most money possible for the PC?
Are the initial price points for PC games becoming inflated or are the production costs that high for game creation?
Is the overall ratio of What you Pay vs. What You Get becoming skewed? Or more simply is the Retail Price you pay really indicative of the level of satisfaction you should get from a game?
Are the FPS flagship game series titles like COD, MOH, and BF pushing pricing of other game genres up as well?
Those are just the questions that have been popping up in my mind as I look at the price and quality of games on the market in preparation of my holiday shopping.
