So I just realized something sad. A few weeks ago, I downloaded and played the demo of Batman: Arkham Asylum. It was released on one console or other a few days ago, and it comes out for Windows in a few weeks, so I was all excited for its release, and I planned to buy it on Steam. Nothing sad so far, right?
Turns out Batman: Arkham Asylum is published by Eidos. That’s the same Eidos that I’m strongly in favor of boycotting. That’s the sad part.
I titled this post “Conflict of interest” because I want to support this kind of game; but I can’t support that kind of publisher. Thus it is with a heavy heart that I must pass on this otherwise wonderful game.
