5 Things Hardcore Gamers Need to Get Over

[powderbucket]

My issues with the casual market don't revolve around games like peggle, I don't even care about them. But the games that have potential for greatness but get dumbed down for people who should go play something else, like in traffic.
Games on this list include:
Spore.
Need For Speed.
Medal of Honor: Airborne.
C&C Generals and onward.
Dead Space.
CoD: MW2.
Battlefield.
Crysis.
See the pattern? EAids!
Also note: great sales =/= great games.

Exactly, and that is where my gripe about 'causal' gaming lies. However, it's not that there's anything particularly wrong with the games, it's the motivations behind the development that make one feel more like a consumer and less like a gamer.

Yeah. If those games were made to tier full potential, than I wouldn't care about the casual market. Everybody CAN actualy get what they want. True gamers can get great games, casuals can still get games, pubs/devs can still get lots and lots of cash. So why shaft the gamers?

The thing is that casuals are willing to accept anything and the developers ask "why bother?".
