>If anyone is to blame, wouldnt you point the finger at the millions of people who just eat up all the derivative crap we see rehashed again and again? When the likes of a Katamari Damacy consistently outsells Madden and the Sims, maybe then we would see a change in how games are selected and developed. Until then, you'll have to look to the independent publishers to bring you those cool offbeat titles.
Stated perfectly. I've said it for years, and you can't imagine how many times on boards i've been flamed for stating this simple fact of business and common sense. Why would they try to make something new and original if GenericSportsGame2012 or SequelGameWithAFewNewFeatures13 sells 100X more? Simple math.
