The problem is you have an idea for a drink picture sharing app. Some guy tells you he's got an idea. you listen. He says "I want to make a coffee picture sharing app". You say, "lame idea". 2 months later you ship your "drink picture sharing app". You get sued. (hmm, sounds kind of like FB) That's why companies don't listen to ideas. This is especially true in games. Some guy comes and says "I've got an idea for game. It's going to have dragons in it". After that if you have any game that has dragons in it odds or not so low that the guy will consider suing you. Of course you can sign NDAs and other agreements but that's not so "nice" and not a guarantee you still won't get sued. Of course I hope for the best in your experiences. I'm just pointing out it's not just that devs think other ideas aren't worth listening to. There are other valid reason not to listen.
