'majority of those kind of games dont sell' ?
they are the blockbusters of gaming world, and they exists solely on the number of games sold.
i dont know what prompted you to utter such a grand statement in lieu of statistics. if you have been educated in game design, there is no way in which you can be unaware of this situation. at least, dont use the 'dont sell' sentence.

prominent names in industry think totally oppositely to your proposition. the reason is, it is the reality of the industry.
Quote:Risk-taking from publishers and investors has dramatically declined in recent times, the Mass Effect and Dragon Age studio-runner noted: 'As a result, innovation and creativity [are] being squeezed. Where the bottom of the market had dropped out at one point, now it’s the middle of the market has dropped out. Unless you can be in the top ten releases at one given time, it's unlikely that a triple-A game is going to make money.'"

Okami - an example of art in games.
Though I think you'd find some way to criticize this too. lol
indie gaming cannot be compared to the sales chart i put above.
Quote:u have a very rigid way of learning with light, and i wonder if we are touching on some past karmic issue with you.
you are still making grand statements about what others know or dont know, before even knowing enough about your own field. if this keeps up, i will just skip by your posts.
