There won't be a "crash". The idea that this industry as a whole will or should crash doesn't make sense.

And why do some people even hope this industry "crasesh"? Just look at the top 5 most wanted games people name every month. 95% of these games are mainstream. Most people who want this industry to "crash" buy exactly those games they hope would disappear? Seems so.

I think the videogames industry has never been as diverse as today.

I don't buy the games that I want to disapear.
Yes, you do and you already did. Earlier in this thread you said you would "love to see the current game industry crash and burn.", i.e. you already bought and still buy the games you want to disappear, unless of course you meant you love to see only certain parts of the industry crash and burn.

Also, if the game industry is so diverse, where are the AAA Sci-Fi dinosaur themed FPS games that I could enjoy in the nineties?
Turok, 2008. Yes, 5 years ago, but still closer to 2013 than to the nineties. According to your profile you own the X360 version of this game. In case you didn't enjoy it and it was more XYZ to you than AAA or even just ABC, don't blame me or the industry. At least they tried, the game exists and hey, you bought it.

Where is the RPG where you are sucked into a pulp novel themed pre-historic world?
Probably in development soon.

Where are the AAA equivalents to Star Control?
If you'd try to look beyond the first letter of the alphabet for a moment, this thread contains a list of recommendations. Or if you insinst on the first letter - and in case stuttered A means moneymoneymoney spent - how about http://elite.frontier.co.uk/

To Jazz Jackrabbit?
As far as I know there are dozens of them. On any system. At least I think so. I played the first JJ back in the 90s but don't play these kind of games anymore. Not because I don't like them, but because I suck. What are those called? Sidescrolling shooters, like Metal Slug and Contra? If so, recent famous examples would be (besides the latest Metal Slug and Contra iterations) e.g. Nicalis' Cave Story and La Mulana.

Gaming was so much more diverse in the nineties.
No. Better, in your opinion (and in mine btw), but not more diverse.

See my answers above. I apologize in advance if you don't find them AAA enough.
