Antifar 08/18/19 12:41:52 PM #3:	Companies know that the durability of the case is near the bottom of the things consumers are taking into account when buying games. It's not profitable to put more resources into better cases than the absolute bare minimum needed to get games looking nice on shelves. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:926223386] in Why did ga...

TheVipaGTS 08/18/19 1:43:49 PM #20:	To be fair back in the day the manuals were necessary because you couldnt really fully convey controls and story in those games. These days with cut scenes and tutorial levels the manual is just integrated into the game so its not really necessary...nice to have but it makes sense why they cut costs there. --- Dallas Cowboys: 1 - 1 <cite>TheVipaGTS posted [p:926225457] in Why did ga...
