Hi Gamers

Hi all!

I'm a gamer who recently became more aware of the happenings in the gaming industry. I started this blog to post about my thoughts about how things are going for us gamers. Gaming time has become a limited commodity since I got married, and even though I've started earning my keep, increased my spending power and bought a lot more games than I was able to, I'm gradually realising that blindly buying games just because they are 'good' (as rated on review sites) actually hurts us gamers in the long run. This is a shame because I really love games and would like to reward developers for their hard work in producing quality games. Note that I'm not a cheap-skate. I've supported companies with good business practices; I bought 2 copies of The Witcher [normal and digital Director's Cut edition] and plan to obtain a collector's edition of The Witcher 2 though I already have a copy because of the normal one just because of their stand against DRM and the fact that a normal copy of their game has more stuff in it than a collector's edition of other games, priced at that of a normal game. Just look at where DRM and DLC is going and you'll see why I say it'll hurt us gamers.

That's it for now. Will post more about the issues mentioned. Meantime, support CD Projekt (Witcher 1 and 2) and Humble Bundle (pay-what-you-want to play indie games and support charity, so don't be an idiot and pay 1 cent cause you're costing them money in bank fees http://www.humblebundle.com/).
