To be fair, the video game industry has brought this upon themselves. They haven't innovated much since the SNES era. 90% of the profits went to Call of Duty and Madden sequels for a long time.

King and their ilk aren't cutting into that, they're innovating games for people who previously didn't play them. It's a positive thing.

What a ridiculous statement. The first Call of Duty wasn't even released until 2003, more than a decade after the SNES. To say that gaming hasn't innovated since the SNES era is just wrong.
