Anyone wanna take bets on who's next to jump the sinking ship that is Capcom?

This is an editorial piece, which means it's just Patrick speaking his mind.

That is not what should be the news. Giant Bomb is not Patrick's blog.

Giantbomb is not CNN. Get over yourself.

It ain't Kotaku, either.

EDIT: I also must add... why can't we have standards in games journalism, but we have to on trade floors. If you're calling for the bottom-of-the-barrel then why are booth babes, or anything for that matter, a problem? You can't have it both ways.

The industry must grow up, however, that doesn't mean its reporting should grow up. That is apparently for children.

Jeff speaks his mind about the state of the industry all the time on Jar Time and the Bombcast, I don't see what's so different or bad about Patrick doing it in the form of an article. Either you really hate the guy, or you don't quite get how journalism works.

All of these comments are embarrassing, and that goes for both sides of the argument. This is an editorial piece, which means it's just Patrick speaking his mind. There is no "right" or "wrong" when it comes to booth babes, only opinion.

That being said, Patrick does bring up some valid points, but this is far more than a problem with the video game industry, it's a problem with society as a whole. Women and sex have been used to sell products since the dawn of capitalism, and there's simply no way that's going to change anytime soon.

Pretty sure I've had my fill of burly men and chest high walls.

Here's my big question, how do you sell 1 million copies and still be considered a failure?!

In the same way that Obsidian got no bonus and a ton of layoffs because Fallout New Vegas didn't get 85 on Metacritic (it got 84).

Ryan all the way. Even though he mainly goes for AAA games and bandwagon jumps, I'm kind of the same way. He also has a soft spot for really bad games and really weird Japanese games.

This why most video game companies aren't run by retired baseball stars.

Wow, Alex almost made a news post without a snarky comment. He must have realized this and added one one the back end to rectify his mistake.

I'm really perplexed as to why they're still so stodgy about withholding information about Copernicus, even with the situation they're currently in.

THPS2 was always my favorite, followed by THPS4 and THUG. I never really got into the third game for whatever reason, even though many people swear by it.
