I have friends who work in the gaming industry and trust me, they don't do it for the money. It's not the best paid, unless you're higher up in the ranks.

It's only the management who make the big bucks and ironically they seem to be the ones who often alter the direction of so many games.

My friends would always say their games started off with great creative ideas and then the bosses would hold 'meetings' where they basically deform the official idea in to what they would consider a cash cow. It's all very sad.

I think when you look back at the gaming industry 15 years ago, there was more energy and excitement in creating a game. It felt more frontier than capital investment. Sure, money was still a big thing, but the industry as a whole feels a little soulless to me. For one thing when did the mass bitching of the gaming community become so prevalent? It's like people are becoming entitled and spoilt.

Am I wrong here?
