Older Gamers - Hands up

[Rapture]

I also wonder this. I mean, why aren't games free? Clearly for the purpose of making money. What we should do is perform a bolshevik revolution against the game industry and nationalize all gaming companies and have all games funded with tax-payer money. As a result, all games will free and the only ones that will be attracted to the game industry would be the true artists, because true artists don't do art for money. I think of the great games such as the Gothic series or Risen and so on, they should be free because they are the purest expression of art, both in gameplay, story and narrative.

Nationalize the Gaming Industry!

That is exactly what I'm talking about. We should not permit profit in the game industry. Companies shouldn't be allowed to make any money above the production cost. So if a game costs 10 million to make, they can only sell the product until they've made 10 million, +-0. The game could of course still be produced, but the profit would go to the country's government instead.

Or just nationalize the industry as stated in my previous post.

Are you being sarcastic or serious?
