Because I'm not going to beat about the bush, they're fucking ruining it for the rest of us, and already we're starting to see shifts in the industry in which people are more concerned with how much money they're making than whether their consumers are actually bloody enjoying their products, and that's only exemplified by quotes like these: Quote: One analyst projects that the "freemium" game could make up to $200 million annually from advertising and in-app purchase revenue, as Bloomberg reported recently. Glu Mobile's stock has also been on a tear since the release of the game. Quote: Aside from underscoring just how lucrative and popular freemium gaming has become among mobile software developers in recent months, the move shows that casual gamers are responsive to tie-ins with existing cultural icons and brands. Quote: That could be good news for Glu Mobile, which also makes a mobile game tied to the upcoming Hercules movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Quote: That could be good news for Glu Mobile Quote: That could be good news Quote: good news I mean fucking seriously guys?

Posts: 4,950 Group: Elite Member #70 Joined: November 11, 2009	Good Game, an Australian video game review show, is currently taking votes for the "top 100 games of all time." Not sure if non-Australians can vote, but I'll be sure to at least note which games are at the top when the results are announced on their 12th August show. If you decide to vote and are able to do so, you can pick three games, as opposed to just one.

These same games will also cease to be marketed as free at the same time. These changes are slated to be implemented at the end of September.

I wonder if this is foreshadowing for the rumoured unified eShop. EDIT: New Wii U system update.
