And no one will ever play all the fangames in existence. Sure, you take liberties with a generalization, but that's how it is. Based on the several amateur titles I've now played, I see no reason for the quality of the games to improve since the lack of funding means they can't make use of ever-increasing technology and will invariably lag behind in the writing department.

Edit: I think it's far easier to throw arguments at someone - in this case, me - than to defend yourself. Oh, and I can think of the inevitable replies: "Well why did you start this then?"

I'll leave that hanging since I don't know myself.

Edit 2: Incidentally, if someone said that all fangames were good, there'd be a general round of agreement with a few protestors. No one outraged, a few amused, and many in agreement.
