Sadly, there aren't enough of us "real" gamers around to make it profitable. They have to appeal to enough people to make a profit [img]smile.gif[/img]
So what do you think happened to the market over the years??

Ages ago there were always a lot of CRPGs on the market and now they are far and few between. It can't just be the development time - there was a long gap between Doom 2 and Doom3 (okay - and lots of Doom clones to keep fans happy inbetween).

Not that I have a lot of time to play games but it's disappointing to go to Best Buy with my husband and my son and not find anything that even looks remotely interesting.
