Garbage.  The video game makers have simply stopped using new ideas for games.
There's a near-inexhaustible supply still out there; all we need is some
creative people making the video games, instead of the brain-dead people that
are at all of the manufacturers now.

Problem is, with a new game idea, the makers aren't sure how the marketing will
go.  If they simply do another kill-kill game, it'll sell exactly X amount, so
they can budget accordingly.  Marketing has taken all of the fun out of this
business.
