Yes, let's accuse BioWare of "selling out" every time they make a gameplay or storytelling change. That's not elitist at all...

if you know how business runs you know how to control the world

Except people are only using the "big business" card now that they see changes that they don't personally like.

Unless you believe that BioWare started as a non-profit organization when they made Baldur's Gate, that is...

But they brought in the random wheel of doom.

I'm not going to accuse BioWare of selling out, because I don't really care. ME2 probably had more mass market appeal than the first game, but I enjoyed it far more than ME1, which I thought was yet another "get yer Star Maps" BioWare game with some clunky combat.



What I will say though is this, Ecael. It's a bad comparison to use Baldur's Gate because the game industry as it is now compared to ten years ago is very, very different. I haven't played BG2 (yeah yeah, blasphemy I know) but from what I do know about it, getting a game like that on shelves and getting publishers to sign off on it would be far more difficult now than it would be ten years ago.



Hell, could you imagine a publisher signing off on a big budget for a game like Planescape: Torment? The current environment is incredibly risk-averse, so you're bound to get a ton of shooters, "action-adventures", and sports games, but few games that really take many risks. It was hard for a guy like Chris Avellone to pitch Torment back in the late 90's, think about how tough it would be now.

Another thing, BioWare's games have been going mainstream for a looooonnnnngggg time now. If you can tell me with a straight face that KotOR was a deep, traditional, old-school RPG, well I don't know what I can do for you.

if you like it or not: these changes are made to attract more people. with your second sentence you stated this too.

most people dnt like change because they think it will ruin the game 75 percent of the time change is good and sometimes its not
