CASUALS!!!
For those of us who aren't a teenager with all the time in the world, games becoming more simple and less hardcore is a good thing. Wait five years or so and you'll agree.
Also, I hate to break it to you, but most games were always created for money. The "artsy" market has always been tiny.
"'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'."
