For example lets look at another hobby, doll collecting. During the Beanie Baby craze there were many people getting into the hobby of doll collecting, after the craze ended many people just there because it was the "in thing" got out of it. Basically I'm still not convinced that what's happen in gaming with casuals is a trend and not a craze. |
Beanie Babies fell through because the market was a bubble that burst. Therefore, it is NOT a fair comparison to gaming.
By your logic, it was just a miracle Monopoly remained popular for this long, and not due to GOOD DESIGN, that STILL APPEALS TO PEOPLE.
Don't care if I'm using all-caps. I want my points to be absolutely clear.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
