Alrik I think you're mistaking "I prefer X" to mean "All things should conform to X" I myself am dark and cynical and I like to see it reflected in games and literature sometimes, but not all the time. Even though I prefer gritty and "realistic" (but too realistic, the whole point for me is something of an escape, and after all it's dragons and magic we're talking here) I would be sad to see the bright, child-like games and motifs disappear from any area of art or entertainment. It has it's place, but I also like to see the nod toward the grim and the fact that things often don't turn out all bright and sunny - or maybe sometimes they do but it's made all the more beautiful because of the hard grey road that came before it.
