The casual movement really pays off...I'm afraid for the industry now

 

You do know that if it weren't for "Casual games" the future Hd games wouldn't even see a release date since the companies doing the HD games would go bankrupt.

Your point isn't realistic. Any project that has no returns would be discontinued. People say HD games are so expensive to make so companies would go bankrupt. Why would they even take on the project in the first place if they weren't sure of generating a profit?

If they could only make profits from releasing casual games thats what they'll release. Casuals tend to not do any research and buy games by the box cover thats why many casual titles sell irregardless of how bad they are. Companies don't have the luxury of releasing HD crapware because they would most likely take a loss

Squaresoft back in the ps1 gen had almost nothing but hardcore titles yet they were making lots of profit (at least before the dumb movie). What gives? Many devs don't have the talent to make games that are very good hence casual is the way to go because they'll buy your games--good or bad so there's no real risk.
