I wonder if this downgrading to a more mindless gaming experience that most of the gaming companies follow to appeal to younger and more casual audiences actually pays off.
I compare it to the music industry or the movie industry for the same effect. I mean people might like Lady Gaga now, or Transformers movies, but will they still like them after 10 years? I seriously doubt that. But great music and movies like the Beatles, or the Godfather are enjoyed 40-50 years after they were made...not to mention Beethoven or Shakespeare...
The same goes for great games I guess. I mean people will always enjoy Monkey Island and Baldur's gate, but who's going to play doom clone number 1235 30 years after it was made?
