Kako mislis, kako to moze da ima veze sa manjkom mozgalica?
Visokobudžetne igre u većini slučajeva imaju problem, isti onaj koji imaju Holivudski blokbasteri, tj. moraju da budu napravljeni za najširi krug ljudi da bi povratili investirano i zadovoljili investitore. Cash-earning-juggernaut filmovi tipa Avatar jednostavno ne mogu da priđu "prženje mozga" nivou kao npr. Quatsi trilogija ili Baraka, ako shvataš šta hoću da kažem.
Da ne idemo dalje u pop kulturu, konzumerizam i sl.
Uobičajeno je i pogrešno mišljenje da se igre "zagljupljuju"/štagod zato što developeri misle da je korisnička baza glupa. Ne, to je čisto ekonomske prirode, izbacivanje "teških" elemenata/streamlining/pampering/handholding itd. će im doneti više prodatih kopija.
Kako vreme prolazi i tehnologija napreduje, ista će postati dostupna tj. jeftiniji širem broju ljudi da naprave nešto svoje. Nešto slično revoluciji digitalnih kamera. Te igre verovatno neće imati visoko produkcijske vrednosti/ispoliranost nekog shootera blokbastera, ali će zato biti unikatne
Instead of quirky challenges and risky new ideas, we have games converging and all playing the same and being somewhat easier to play. The desired result is surely maximum audience by making sure the barriers to entry aren't jarring. Mindlessness, like most movies, that's comfortable for all (except old school gamers living in nostalgia-land). Part of it is also likely that games are frequently made by >100 people now, farmed-out factory style, and the individualism is gone unless you have a really strong leader with a vision.
I'd say the techno rat race for more perty is what is holding back gaming innovation. The cause of those $20+ million budgets. More risk averse than ever before, and rightfully so.
When you look at how the economic system work, and you realize that a game that cost 30.000.000.00$, with 200 people involved, can not be aimed to a niche audience. It's all in the independent games, that someday will have the same tools at disposal (think of the hiquality cheap digital camcoders market revolution) and find economic strategies to counterattack the mainstream exploitation.
