Who killed the videogame industry?

Sony did

Why are violent videogames so popular now? FUck sony. Fuck sony in the ass

Why can't we have games like phantasy star anymore? Games like that wouldn't sell anymore

Fuck

So explain why FF is sucking? Used to be good, but now it's terrible. It's based entirely off of the J-pop culture. (OK, haven't played 12 yet, but based off of 10/10-2)

Oh, and KH. Sure, it has decent gameplay by some accounts, but you can't dismiss the sellout factor.

To summarize, I think that creators are simply running out of ideas, and like anything, power corrupts.

Square: Used to make decent games, they were always soapy, but not as bad as the modern stuff they produce.

Blizzard: Started with WCI, an interesting computer adaptation of warhammer. Now look what we have? WoW. And that canceled starcraft ghost project...

Miyamoto: He still produces a few good games, but he IS losing some of his creative edge. The mario games are going nowhere, and zelda, though good, is really just a rehashed formula, and I fell that the realistic style and "T" rating of TP was somewhat him selling out to the mass criticisms of 14 year olds complaining that "Z0mg c3ll 5ha|)3 is 4 kiiiiiids!!!!!!!11"

And yes, XBOX is pretty much host to 2 million 3rd rate military shooters. But it also created Fable and elder scrolls. (Elder scrolls was definitely less violent than many games out there, and the wandering around walking for hours defeats the aforementioned ADD theory.)

This is probably just an inane rant, but I felt like responding...
