| Groucho said: Good games aren't made if the publisher doesn't have the money to pay for them. Publishers aren't willing to branch out if they are scrambling to put themselves in the black each quarter. Oh the vicious cycle. Besides, many genres -- RPGs are probably the best example -- aren't keepers even if they ARE great, due to their resale value. Making a great story replayable is... a bit of a conundrum. |
If the publishers are struggling so much, then maybe they should start blaming, oh, you know, themselves.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
