Sky Render on 15 January 2009
By BTFeather55's logic of the rate and type of market upstreaming that should happen, those of us who started gaming with the NES all should have started playing computer RPGs and complex flight simulators by 1987. ...Yeah, that's not how upstreaming works. It's a very gradual process, and in the video game market, seems to take about 3 to 5 years for most users to even reach a midway point between overly simple and overly complex games, let alone a point where they're willing to play intimidatingly complex titles.
And of course, there's the matter of the sort of user being drawn in. Not a lot of games that would be M-rated today sold all that well on the NES...
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
