So it seems another in the Battlefield franchise has failed yet to dramatically change the formula. It seems that DICE is comfortable to re-hash the same game, even built on the same engine, with a few tweaks, some different graphics here and there, oh yeh, and the super useful feature of making your computer vulnerable.

Have we come to that point in all media, not just games, that everything is recycled? Nowadays, all the movies are either remakes, sequels, or based on a book, or a real life event. Where is the intellect? The ingenuity? It seems that everyone is a leech (me included) off each others works. It seems that the Internet philosophy of free information is being taken too literally in the world. When everything is expensive, a risk, a gamble, and a profit less than millions of dollars is considered a loss, nobody wants to buy into the new guy with the bright ideas. Its always taking the safe bet, whatever the machine thinks will generate instant cash. Wasn't there a time in history when bad movies couldn't float on hype alone? And good movies were actually profitable?
