@mydo - any idea which games those people have worked on?
I'm not that bothered if we lose the pile of facsimiles that follow in the wake of a great, successful game (GTA, Halo, Uncharted, Gears, LBP, etc etc). There's plenty going on between the AAA blockbuster releases and Angry Birds on your iPhone.
@omg - you can't possibly have played them all! I'm totally with you that too many games are little more than Michael-Bay-with-buttons but there are also plenty of gems.
There's also the idea that gaming has never been healthier; the number of more accessible platforms beyond the big consoles; alternative delivery methods to boxed media (web, Steam, App stores); the growth of social and online gaming; free-to-play; micro transactions and episodic games; the new Wii U alone brings interesting possibilities.
It might mean less of a certain type of game but surely there is momentum in other areas to suggest a less-than-bleak future.
