When the first PlayStation came out, I worked at a feature film VFX studio attempting a game industry gamble: all, and I do mean ALL, early PlayStation games were aimed above the age range a typical Nintendo title targets. Their/our strategy was to make a game targeting younger gamers who were being left out of the PlayStation more mature push. Well, once we had the game created (which looked amazing at the time) the PlayStation and game industry marketing firms we met were simply useless. They were the target market, they only cared to work with games they'd play themselves. In fact, I found the game industry overall to lack the ability to work on projects they'd not personally purchase. There is a huge amount of immaturity in the game industry.
