C - Copycats

STOP IT!

At some point the gaming industry has to allow themselves to fall flat on their faces with innovative new ideas... that suck.

The same-old same-old just isn't cutting it.  Everyone is a copycat and while this is sometimes good, right now it isn't.  We have tons of games that all look and feel the same and that just isn't interesting or fun.  It's boring and shitty and it really needs to change if we ever want to press forward as an industry.  PC gaming has done a lot of growing up and we are moving ever closer to that pivotal point where a game will make you cry.

We have to stop stifling progress just so we can make some money.  Demand that your game be different and innovative, not incorporate the same system under a different name and call it innovation.  We aren't stupid and we can see through this.  There has to come a time when we take a look at what some of these indie games do and allow that joy and creativity to move into some major studios.  I have seen more mobile games be interesting and creative in the last year than I have PC games.
