But yeah, I agree with what you said. The casual gamers are really kind of hurting us because all they "play" are FPSes, sports, racing, and the Wii (insert title here) games. And unfortunately for us, it's what sells.
I feel that the main problem with the industry today is that it's all about business now. Not many companies are willing to make games that are new and different, since most companies would rather make something that they know will sell , even though it may be redundant, overdone, and most importantly boring to those of us who are really passionate about our gaming. They say money makes the world go 'round, and unfortunately the gaming industry is no exception to this.
Even though they make up a very large portion of the gaming population (as much as it pains me to say so), it's the smaller fraction, the hardcore gamers, that actually give a damn about the industry. It's really kind of ironic when you think about it.
