    I love the adage "for every Skyrim there are dozens of awful games" and how its completely false. The only time that this even comes into play is when talking about Flash games. That's it. There aren't dozens of Skyrim copies running about, to even suggest an idea like that is inane and stupid.

      I don't think he meant specifically dozens of awful Skyrim copies, just generally dozens of awful games.

    1. Most "journalists" misuse the word Terrible, Awful, Horrible, etc... Most games are in fact very average. You don't see a whole lot of really bad games.

    Games don't go down to $20 all that quickly either. Especially Nintendo games, and Heavy Rain was full price for like 3 years. Also aside from Rockstar and actual GOTY's like Arkham Asylum and Oblvion there's not a whole lot of complete editions out there. They're growing in popularity, but to say "there will be a GOTY" is asinine as a blanket statement.
