I don't think Cage cares that much about Heavy Rain sales, and we shouldn't either. Of course, minimal sales are required to fund the project, but that's all.

Like CGI said, it brings something new to the gaming industry, that's what matters most.

As an adult, I'm really fed up with shooters and generic games right now. We need something new. We need games for adults (including moral decisions and - why not - sexuality). We need more mature games now.

The average game is aimed at 15 years old people, yet the average gamer is around 32 if I remember correctly. I see a problem there.

Of course he cares about the sales! (for the reasons u just described) But I understand what you mean, and I agree with everything else. Good post.

Cage cares about the game being received well. This is one of the reasons it was delayed, he wants perfection. I'd MUCH rather that than some dev that says, oh well, just put it out, it'll sell 5 million copies regardless.

This. Rarely any developer nowadays puts innovation above money.
