Sorry to rant some more, but I'm in the mood. Apart from strategy / RTS games my other love is RPGs.

RPGs were fucked by people like Bioware. All of a sudden crunchy, old-skool games turned into emo dating simulators. Jesus I was butt-hurt. I just left. Stopped playing them. Looked at other stuff.

It was so much more rewarding than haunting the fucking super-creepy Bioware Social Network watching what it had become.

Now, thanks to Kickstarter, loads of great RPGs are popping up. It's a new golden age for RPGs where, without publishers (like EA, who will shortly take Bioware out and shoot it, once it's sucked the last sweet drops of profit from its veins) can do what the fuck they like.

I suggest the same will happen to RTS games. I'll lay money that a squad-level, hardcore wargame / RTS like vCoH will pop up on Kickstarter soon. It will make a good living for the developers. They will be able to do what they like without the likes of Sega breathing down their necks for the Q1 targets.

But, ladies, until that happens deal with the world as it is, not the way you'd like it to be. Because it won't change squat.

BFW OUT.
