I've always found that at any given time there's some publisher out there who's interested in innovation. Different people have taken up that mantle from time to time and they always get excited about it and then for some reason or another that light kind of goes out and someone else picks it up. And as long as there's at least one publisher out there who is interested in innovation and doing something revolutionary then I think games like that will keep getting made. |
If you're using an existing game play mechanic that was a big hit and a big successful license you can do a $15 million or $20 million game now. And if you want to talk about making either one of those original then, you now have knocked off $6 million off your budget right there. |
