Video games as we know them would not exist without mainstream gamers. They are what keeps the video game market afloat and thriving. If the big 3 and publishers/devs weren't making money, we'd all be playing old school pc games.

Yeah but what if mainstream gamers are dudebros now and play the same games every year who arent good at all? Games like Metal Gear Solid were considered mainstream back then but looked a some kind of coriousity now by the mainstream.

They put money but in the wrong direction now. 

Any money going into the gaming industry is good. There's no wrong direction for the most part. if the companies are doing well, they'll take more chances with new IP's and bringing back old series. I depise sport games and I no longer play COD, AC, GTA, god of war, battlefield, halo, gears and far cry. I lost interest in them all for one reason or another but other people pay to play 'em and that money helps in some way produce the games that I want to play.
