A recent article written by Mike Acton of Insomniac Games challenges video game developers to broaden their ambitions and fight to get back to their rebellious roots. Quoting:"[W]hy is it that game developers are beginning to drown in a culture of fear, or more specifically, a fear of change? Is it because the gaming world has gone too corporate and is no longer exclusive to small teams of genius misfits and creative underdogs? Is it because the demographics of game players—once made up almost exclusively of teen boys—has widened to include nearly everyone from 5-50? There are people who would deny that it’s fear of change that keeps them where they are. There are those that are content with the status quo because they believe that they have a formula 'that works' and there’s no good reason to risk a major change when they already successful with what they’re doing. ... Game developers are, at their heart, futurists and this is what they need to do now—put themselves ahead of the times so that they can surpass the stale leadership and old models that are holding them back"

Mike Acton of Insomniac Games should stop playing shitty games or go back and play ET or Goonies 2 on Atari 2600. :rofl:

I can't help but think how full of crap this guy is when i look at my shelf and see all the good games of collected over the last few years.

Without any corporate funding or deep wallets games would have never evolved. They would have never attracted great artists, writers, musician and producers.

Duh....lol

I more or less agree with this.

There may be a few cookie cutter games out there, but if you look a little harder you can see a few games that are nothing less than art redefined. Prime examples would be Bioshock, Red Dead Redemption, GTA, ect. Go play those then try to tell me that art in today's games is declining.
