[casual_games] Yet another FPS? I say FP-YES! (was EA CEO calls video games "boring, " complicated: WSJ)

[Todd Sawicki]

I don't think anyone is saying they should be stopped but from an
industry growth perspective it's definitely something to keep an eye on.
The market for sports and fps franchises is pretty saturated.

I don't know about anyone else, but I love my choices to purchase things
as
a consumer.

The free market will ultimately decide what is worth paying for, build
the
best products you are able to.

FWIW I prefer Pirate Poppers to Zuma, and Jewel Quest feels to me like a
better designed game than Bejeweled.

I would be sad inside as a customer if these games were not distributed
because of some policy on game originality.

PS: So there is no lost love, Bookworm adventures is the bees knees of
popcap games.

Seriously do we really need yet another FPS?

-----  Or another Zuma?  Or Diner Dash?  Or Anything Tycoon?
