Frustrating...
Yahoo News has an article discussing the widening gap between the "haves" and "have nots" among game publishers. Yes this is a problem, and the ultimate consequence will likely be the degeneration of games into a rotting, inescapable quagmire of derivative, unimaginative, but very stylish "mainstream" tripe. But the problem isn't the "lackluster demand for marginal titles" as the article would suggest. It's the skyrocketing production budgets. The game industry has just about succeeded in its doting emulation of the film industry, where the majority of the products suck, and only the top of the pyramid makes any money. Congratulations.
