There is a website that just got put up (only 14 members so far) that could help us consumers make our voices heard by developers. The website is http://www.thegeeksreview.com, this is not my website, I'm not even a mod there, just a regular member. Now that it has been 'officially' launched I thought I'd spread the word and maybe we could see our suggestions implemented.
What happens is you join the site and go to the forums and post in the sections under the "Geek Tweakin' " heading. After the site owners have enough info they put a letter together and send it off to the game companies. I think it sounds like a pretty good idea if enough people get on board.
