The games industry is stagnating for the same reason the movie industry is,
it just costs too much money to make the product anymore so everybody tries
to copy anything that recently sold well. The only people taking chances are
the ones with a insignificant budget, which might work for some movies but
definatly doesnt work for games where eyecandy is what sells.
But that is what is the main problem with the USA, every thing is
eye-candy or high technology and no real new development. If you want
real games look to the UK or the Japanese. Take a look at DVD's now days
for a example ... US Movie (animated like shrek ) - all singing dancing
menues,web site windows downloads and bounus games for your computer and
on DVD 2 you even get the movie. Japanese Anime ( animated - Kiki's
delivery service) you get a great movie in japanese,english or spanish
or subtitled english with bonus material about the movie not last minute
extras.
I bet that most people can think for themselves, but
there is nothing in it
for them if they do. I have seen quite a few people do the bare minimum and
as long as they don't piss off the manager they keep their jobs. People who
try to inovate are the ones who get into the most trouble and if they fail
they usualy get the boot.
True.
