Most concerning gaming trends?

Paid DLC

518

Micro Transactions

597

(Mandatory) always online games

354

Unfinished or broken games

2818

Servers that are not dedicated

191

Digital downloads and pre-downloading

39

Other

137

While all the others I feel are self-explanatory, I will explain why I feel Digital Downloads and Pre-Loading is wrong IMHO. The convenience is great that's obvious what may not be is it is not as competitively priced if they have a captive market, competition is good. Used game market will also die. There may be others I have have missed or couldn't fit in, so please feel free to list other concerns you have if I have not included them or comment on the poll options above if you want. Edit: [b]Dishonourable mentions Pre-orders & Day 1DLC Split screen not being included as standard. Renting servers EA Access & the ilk [/b] #Gamersuniteanddontputupforthisshite!

    Pre-ordering, while once a cool and innocent gesture has become a new beast in terms of game development. Game devs are putting out content that is unfinished or untested very frequently. This problem, while not entirely, stems from the Pre-order. Devs used to be able to push back a title as many times as neccessary to finish their creations before releasing it to the public. But now with the pre-order obsession devs are under Pressure by distributing companies to meet consumer deadlines. People tend to get pissed off if a product they paid for doesn't get delivered on time.[spoiler]this is not the end all, be all arguement or observation about pre-order ing. Just one of the many facets of the industry "diamond."[/spoiler] [b]Edit:[/b]spelling.
