Because in reality the world always was mean, fast and difficult to understand.


Todays indi-games live better than ever using platforms like Steam, for example. There are stunning and brilliant games for just a few bucks that beat many blockbuster-games both in new ideas and perfection.

Besides that, I really had to LoL about this one: "Production costs are down"

True. For a fork made in China. But video games are much more complex today, than they ever were, needing much more manpower to make a game appealing to the market. At the same time the costs for a game stayed the same. Calculating inflation that means a huge loss in actual benefit.

It's not a secret, that games need at least 2 sequels with the same engine to make benefit today.

Eastern europe, russia and asia has about 2837283782738273 good coders and all will do better job with 1/10th of the cost than western coder takes.

Also about the production costs, I did mean the end product, the box with the CD/DVD. Since there are no box releases anymore in many cases. You just sell copies of files.


It's not a surprise that gamers are pissed off and just downloading games illegal way.

Video games are much more simple nowadays than they were. Graphics sure are more complex, but actual games are dumbed down, stripped for dummies.

In 1990s there were games for people with brains, nowadays games are made for idiots with eyecandy.
