The writer is missing out on something about the game industry that is very important: the technology is still evolving by leaps and bounds. Within a few years the general standards of movies and rock and roll were set in stone. Yes, innovation still occurred, but you didn't have to shell out for a new projector or record player every five years. Once the nature of the industry stops being about the next big thing in hardware then it can start being about creating masterpieces. Plus, there have been many attempts and they tend to fall flat. You only have to pay $10 to get into a movie today (a mere 100 times as much as "back in the day" thanks to gov spending and the Federal Reserve). If Spielberg's next masterpiece really is a game, like EA wishes, then price of entry is hundreds if you don't own the console and still $50-60 if you do. Maybe once these issues are resolved, then we can see some advances.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
