Am not a fan of capitalist values, but that title made me laugh.

Not the sequel? Are you hiding something from us?

OH GOD, IT HAS SPAWN OFFSPRING, WE'RE DOOMED!

And you are from Cuba, never believe a communist goglodytes. They only lie and take away your hard earned stuff. :P
Capitalism is awesome and corporate greed is good.

So the exploitation of developers/creators by greedy corporate blacksuits is stifling creative development which in turns harms video game development.
And so we get battlecrap and other half-done fps games shoved out before completion to make money.

"My name in print!"

So what's the alternative? Central planning in game development? Government-aproved games? :)

Yep.

Game developers will submit their product to the government's Central Gaming Authority, who, if content-approved by the Central Propaganda Ministry, will distribute it to the people for their greater good. Then they will make a judgement on how much, if anything, the developer should be paid.

Of course, they will probably be paid in coupons for government-allocated cheese and subway tokens.

Then when the developers protest, round them up and shoot them as an example to their comrades.

You mean games like Call of Duty?

You get the point.

But Capitalism is teh Evuhl!!

For an extra helping of rich, sweet irony, the guy presents his point in an article about a completely optional and unnecessary consumer product: video games.
