20 years of gaming here and honestly, the industry needs to get over its fetishization of violence and it's reliance on it as a crutch.
Games can be so much more than mainstream gaming has allowed them to become.

- __david__ 10y agoNo, it really doesn't. Games sell like gangbusters as they are now. That doesn't mean there isn't room for non-violent games, and if you can come up with one that that's really fun to play you'll make a mint. Until then, don't decry an entire industry because you don't see the appeal.
