I'll take a niche game any day as long as there are enough subs to support it... hell, even the small companies, that basicly depend entirely on sub payments just to keep the lights on... guys like that, they tend to make a game from love, not greed... and they tend to be more focused on it, and more responsive to the few that play it... you give me a game with say 50-100 subs, and I'll show you a game where the devs listen intently to what the players have to say... and seriously care how things run as well... good luck finding that in games that claim 1 mill+ subs... as they are on "PIMP" mode at that point... PIMP= Paying In auto sub, Mostly Pwnd already... Fair warning…. my KB (or my skills using it) sucks… so there may be spelling errors….
