The problem is that Nintendo simply cannot get out of the 80's mindset that videogames are meant to be "fun". I'm sick and tired of developers focusing on creating "fun" experiences on the Wii and in return sacrificing their artistic integrity amidst this peer pressure to be "FUN". Fun is FINE, but it shouldn't be the sole direction and focus the industry basks in.

 

You sir, disgust me. What's a game if it's not fun? An interactive movie or book? A competitive sport? Honestly, fun should be the sole direction and focus of the industry, though quality is welcome as well.

I'm 99.9% certain that was sarcasm.

His comment matches his posting history. So either he is serious and really thinks this way or he is a joke account.

Yeah, I just checked that and edited accordingly. I'm strongly hoping it's option #2...
