‎"The retail sales of videogames in the US have declines in the ast two years. That may be partly because of the economy, but it’s also because the games industry has stopped creating anything new." Peter Tante, Atomic Games.

Michael O'Connor And this is why Call of Duty is bad for the industry. Games are setting new sales records, yet industry wide sales have plummeted. A medium without creative merit stagnates. This is a long proven fact.

Games exist to make money. Not for any other reason - not for creative purposes, or for the sake of making something new. The Call of Duty series makes money, and there's a good reason for that... it's what people want. Should they stop mak...ing games in the series just because sales of other games are affected around it's release?

Markets like XBL, PSN and WiiWare are great for under-funded developers to get their games out there, and we've seen a good number of them springing up thanks to these services. Say in the future one of their games becomes a multi-million seller - now that they're making money and seen as big and evil, should they halt any further releases of that series?See More

‎"Games exist to make money."

That's just saddening to hear.

While we're at it, lets just make music and films for money. Heck, we might as make just create literature for the sake of making money while we're at it.
