If you don't value innovation and creativity in gaming the industry will end up dominated by the technology motivation.
So far the technology side of things has been assimilating and reproducing the creativity that persists. But the truth is this is an entertainment industry, where creativity and innovation reigns even as it relates to the implementation of technology.
So you have to value innovation. The "so what? we copy", is a technology industry thing, which is fine for that particular industry, but if you start using it for entertainment industries the result is eventually not as good. We're best served by valueing innovation, or at least good new implementations of ideas that have originality to them.
I'm not saying it's right to condemn companies that copy good ideas, but it's best to acknowledge and value originality once in a while. Because that's what really drives entertainment forward, it's new ideas that work well.
