Bitching on forums seems to be the only viable communication channel, hoping that the devs of the games come aware about the negative feedback that otherwise didn't reach them from the suits.Ĭlick to expand.I don't think all the bitching in the world won't change a thing, unfortunately, as money talks way, way louder, even directly to the developers. To put my wallet on what I like has significant less power when you have millions of consumers.

What other people plays *do* have a significant impact on the future games that will be produced. While I couldn't care less what people read or listen to music wise, it's more of a problem with video games as they take considerably more time and effort to develop so it's harder for an outsider with a great idea to step in unlike literature and music. Yeah, I think that's one important aspect to reactions to negative comments on games with 'if you don't like it, don't play it' is that they it to understand that if a bad game have a very good success business wise, which is the case for Civ 5 from what I understand, not only the new game will more closely follow 5 than 4 but also smaller 4X developers will more likely attempt to clone the more 'successful' 5th than the 4th one.
