The only thing "ruining" the industry are people who insist on categorizing people into neat little groups based on what games they play the most.

As a consumer, I'm going to be smart. I'm not going to spend $60 on a game when I know it will be $40 next month. If this causes some companies to go under or sequels not to be made, well then, I guess the industry learned its lesson. Despite what some people believe, the games industry revolves around us. As a responsible consumer, supporting companies that have good business practices and refusing to buy from ones that have bad is very important. It's the only thing we can do against companies that look for every possible way to screw us over.

Saying that "hardcore gamers" are the death of the industry is absolutely silly to me. If it weren't for people like that, who actually stand up against companies, the games industry would have degenerated into nothing but freemium games and realistic FPSes. There's nothing wrong with wanting quality.

As for not spending $15, I suppose I could see the logic behind it. Capcom hasn't exactly been very friendly to consumers, cancelling several franchise titles and releasing sub-par games. They bring out this game that is obviously trying to appeal based on nostalgia, and rather than scoop it up, some people question their ulterior motives. Some may disagree with paying so much for a digital game. I don't think there's anything wrong with either of those thoughts. However, I will still be buying the game because I like DuckTales.
