I was pondering questions when I came across the question "Is Gaming Fair?".

Quite an odd question in it's own right, correct? When gaming began, was it fair?

I say, ofcourse. All game companies were jolly and "fair". Anybody who's anybody enjoyed games. It wouldn't take long before the gaming industry would get ugly, very ugly!

Is gaming fair now?

I say, hell no! all gaming companies are vying for your "well spent" small fortune. Game companies will almost go to any lengths to gain a sale.

What's next?

Imagine if gaming companines used Sumbliminal Advertising? This would reek havoc worldwide. Thank god it's been banned for over 20 years!

So, anyone have any views on this post or what's next in gaming fairness?

I ain't joking, I enjoyed reading it, many of you topics have been a good read and this was probably the best, but then again, I do love dinosaurs!

I am completely insulted that you should call me coolhound. I am a universal dog lover and will not have my name used to favour a particular breed

as the old saying goes, "nothing in life is fair"
as for gaming its not fair in the slightest. If it was then everyone would get a game released on the same day and not in Japan first. Prices would be more reasonable and we wouldn't be treated unfairly by developers and console makers.

What do you mean about gaming being fair? Surely gaming is a personal choice, whether you decide to buy a game is up to you, you make it sound like someone is denying us something
