short, simple, and shallow
According to the marketing whizzos at great publishers, this is the perfect mix to generate a lot of profits !
Or so I believe.
Gamers always want better, better and better... better graphics, better ai, more realism, more cool effects.
This comes at a great cost, making games takes more work, more artists but gamers don't want to pay more, they assume its the devolepers duty. Developer's dumb down gameplay, story, playtime just to get their games make profit.
So don't point your fingers just at developers and publishers, look at yourselves and fellow gamers and decide what you really want spending your money on games. As many of you, the larian fanbase allready think this way. A lot more don't. So it's only sane business logic to make what gamers don't really want.
