Honestly I can't get my head around the idea that wanting a platform to push games and gaming forward as much as they can with new hardware and what that can do to new game design ideas, storytelling and so on, is something bad for gamers. Like, how is that a bad thing?
BC is not a huge deal for me, but, just in case, I have all my consoles, all generations, ready to go if I feel like playing some OG Xbox, or some PS2 or whatever, but with new hardware, I think wanting new horizons to open up is perfectly normal and good, not only for the gamer, but the industry itself.
