    Any novel idea that gets a modicum of success is immediately and repeatedly flogged to death by copy-cats, both indie and corporate, for the next several years until the gaming public is sick of seeing it. See any recent successful gaming trend for an example.

    Small indie studios instead of the hulking meat grinders of corporate giants.

    that’s why I hope the game-like genre naming really takes off that means I can just play the original and skip the rest

      I imagine you’re being facetious, but you’d miss a lot of great games this way.
