I wish sometimes when we get caught up in how much the mainstream industry sucks for being so blandly mediocrily mainstream, we should remind ourselves that no, these cases don't represent ALL of gaming, or even the game industry.
Yes, the old great studios of 1-2 decades ago, were the trailblazers of what gaming became. And yes, <$100m budgets are an abomination that can't result in anything good, and it looks like any naturally growing studio will end up turning into soulless giants, and entirely ignoring the audience that made them great, then we might as well say that they are dead to us, and just look at all the still promising young ones.
After all, this is also a golden age for small publishers and indie developers, online audiences making small experimental games viable, there is a whole new generation of trailblazers. Why are we, as self-titled gamers, obliged to look at whatever Capcom, EA, Activision, etc, is producing, call it "the games industry", and weep for it, instead of just ignoring it, and looking at OUR GAMES?
