What are you talking about? Even charitable read of the current FPS scene shows biggest names rehashing the same stories and worrying more about presentation that anything halfway interesting. AAA is over? Good riddance. It is not over but AAA studios will just send slop?

Dude. They are already doing it. The only difference now is that you can too.

Hopefuly, I gave you an idea of what you need to do.

Sure, they've been sending more slop lately but at least there was some aspect of providing a livelihood for game devs. It sounded like that was the comment was expressing anxiety toward, at least how I read it. I guess game devs will just have to shift to something else, but as a (non-game) dev from the before times it's really not clear where to shift that energy. Especially if you used to depend on it to provide all your essentials for life.

I hear you and I don't really have a solution. However, what I suspect is that status quo can't go on as-is anyway. I can't say I am not worried about what is on the horizon, but just propping it all up so that company can release Modern Warfare MM seems wrong on a different level.
