Hi guys! I just joined the tech forums because I wanted to discuss an idea with you all. I am a console gamer and I have been very frustrated lately with things like DRM, mandatory installations, hard drive only installs, etc. I was really pondering about a new console. Can it be done? Can an indie console created by hardware engineers like you compete against the likes of Microsoft and Sony? I am fed up with the policies and procedures instituted by these companies and the things they let game companies do to us as gamers. Can we gather together enough hardware engineers and business savvy minds to create a console that is more consumer friendly than the current leaders of the market? What happened to the days when all you did was go buy a game and that was it? What about the days where there was no purchased DLC, DRM, etc.? What happened to the days where these companies put out quality games that everyone could enjoy, regardless of financial factors, and didn't try to nickel and dime you to death in order to squeeze as much profit out of you as possible? I want to know, is it possible, when the right minds are brought together, can we bring gamers a product that keeps them, instead of the company, in mind at all times? Can we create a product that cares more about the consumers than profit percentages? Let me know what you think! I want to gather together the best and brightest and try to make this a reality! With so many tools, like kickstarter, indiegogo, etc., out there these days to help indie developers, lets make this happen! Hardware engineers and business minds needed!
