| DerpSandwich said: It's tough for colorful and/or creative games when the vast majority of gamers are kids/young adults that only want to play stuff that makes them feel mature. I think social media has a lot to do with it. The times of playing whatever you want in privacy is largely a thing of the past, and Facebook has made everybody feel like the world is watching them at all times. You could probably write a thesis on this theory, actually. |
Yeah I'd agreewith someone of that. I think there's a schism developing in the business too ... kids do still play cartoony/colorful games, they're just all on the iPad/iPhone/smartphone.
Overwhelmingly the most successful smartphone IP -- Angry Birds, Candy Crush, Plants Vs. Zombies, Farmville, etc. are cartoony games.
