So...you're saying that all Americans and Europeans are basically idiots because they prefer shooters over space sims?

Face it: Space sims cater to a niche crowd. Unless your country is filled with sci-fi nerds, I bet it's the same way.

And everyone knows Russia is filled with sci-fi nerds anyway, so that's why they still make the sims :D

In general he's correct. A large percentage of the gaming population in the UK and America only want FPS, Sports sims and driving games. I wouldn't say that all of the people in those countries are troglodytes but a fair percentage are.

I seem to recall THIS very conversation already happened 1-2 years ago.

Deja-vuhhh!! Someone hacked the Matrix.

Anyway - it's not that gamers became troglodytes, it's that troglodytes became gamers too, and the developers aim for the lowest common denomiator.
"I was going to become a speed dealer. If one stupid fairytale turns out to be total nonsense, what does the young man do? If you answered, “Wake up and face reality,” you don’t remember what it was like being a young man. You just go to the next entry in the catalogue of lies you can use to destroy your life." - John Dolan

My complaint isn't about the ease of the game or anything. My complaint is about the fact that most people only play certain types of game. By the time you own 10 different FPS is there really any point in buying yet another instead of trying another genre?
