I dislike how you hate on dude Bros. This has nothing to do with them? You should be happy someone's a gamer not talking like that. So what if they like different genres. Does Itmatter? Bigger sales for the gaming industry 

Actually it does matter. The "dudebro" population has become an epidemic that's affecting all of gaming. Thanks to them flocking to the gaming community in droves an their refusal in general to sexpand their horizons, the market has been flooded with graphics oriented, bloated budget dudebro candy. They've created an environment that rewards repetitive releases, little innovation, visuals above gameplay, and destroys developers with a single flop.

What's more, with game companies being companies as well as game designers, they're going to design games that will make them the most money possible, so we continually see elements from the top dudebro genre's creeping into series where it doesn't fit. Resident Evil 6 is a perfect example.

The mainstream video game community is at an all time low in terms of game output and creativity, and the situation is made worse by the impending collapse of every major company due to the pressure to release larger and more profitable games. You want a new Dragon's Dogma? Too bad. Megaman isn't gonna grab the big bucks, don't waste time on it. F*ck Crash bandicoot and Jak and Daxter, we need more third person action adventure games because that's what sells to the dudebro epidemic.

The only way the video game market is going to return to a more balanced place when the AAAs inevitably collapse and companies avoid becoming that bloated again, or we find a way to transmit AIDS through playing CoD.

Why don't you make a thread regarding your concerns?

To OP: I really, really hope this succeeds. People in Japan have been doing this kind of B-tier work (like Compile Heart or Idea Factory or Koei Tecmo, or...the list goes on, really) for quite some time now.
