[Perfect Stu]

Sounds like people are wasting a WHOLE lot of energry doing their best to preach what they think "SHOULD BUT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!!!!"

They make their little point, and the world has not changed the next day.

Thanks for coming out, though.

Honestly now...people will buy what suits their fancy. Whatever interests them. Companies do what they can to provide consumers with these products. Everything else is just mumbo jumbo that takes care of itself. Just because some talking head thinks this is 'oh-so-wrong' isnt going to do squat.

Maybe more people preferred 'Marble Madness' as opposed to 'Baseball Stars' back in 1987. Today, clearly more people prefer 'MVP Baseball 2005' over the latest puzzle game. That's just how it is. Niche games will always have their niche markets. Videogames have become much more mainstream, and the mainstream want games like Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo, Zelda and Madden NFL. That's where the money is...and that's the bottom line.

Games are not doing people an injustice today. If everyone (like one guy says) likes games that are INNOVATIVE and NEW and DIFFERENT, then EVERYONE will pay to buy them. And if that's the case, go make your innovative game, have people buy them, and let that be the end of it. Quit b*tching...the world doesnt owe you a living, you have to go out there and make it happen.
