"I'd also like to point out that, for those people who say, "Well make a better game then," you obviously have never worked in the game industry because you seem to think that the developers AREN'T pouring all their effort and energy into a project.

People make money in the movie industry based on how much revenue is coming in from ticket sales, not what the movie reviews were.
Britney Spears makes tons of money because her CDs sell, not because she's talented at what she does.
Get it?"
