As if I said/meant that gameplay-based games didn't exist (as opposed that the industry and market has a heavy AAA/get newest GPU/ emphasis).

Not to mention that AAA light on gameplay and full on assets also hire gameplay programmers. It's not about gameplay programmers being busy, or gameplay-heavy games existing.

It's about having many more gamers stop chasing graphics to the detriment of gameplay - or in fact, stop chasing graphics, period.
