And the way the most successful movies are made and sold is not fundamentally different from any other, it’s just on a larger scale. Yes, companies will dumb blockbusters down to please the lowest common denominator, but you can still get good blockbusters, made with artistry and craft. That might sound snobbish but I don’t meant it that way, because I think the situation with gaming is different than with other mediums like film. They probably don’t consider themselves gamers and they probably don’t see the games they play as anything other than trivial distractions from daily life. That the people that actually care about the games are in a minority and the ones that generate the most money for publishers don’t really care at all.
This, I feel, is one of the fundamental dangers with the modern games industry.
They’re probably not interested in paying for microtransactions either, at least not at first, but the insidious nature of the games will inevitably draw in many. Time and again we see that the general public do not care about these issues.
