Cayden, sounds sweet bro - I would play that game.

Phones! You're right... I now have a new arch-nemesis! I never thought of those little bastards as so responsible... but it makes sense. 

I really get what you're saying, and again it makes sense, but thats the problem. The market, businesses, all that corporate statistic target bullshit - the focus is in the wrong places. I worked at Game HQ, and the thing that struck me was how practically no one working there or having any influence was really a gamer, aside from the odd mega nerd in IT or the gamer temps. Every higher member of staff knew practically nothing about the real nature of games and gaming. It makes me wonder if it is like that at the majority of these game studios, that people are just trying to run it as a business. 

I mean, surely you need real gamers in positions that can make a real difference (like the big studios)? I don't know how it works really, you're right though that my perspective is probably vastly different from any realistic perspective, but all I know is that they are doing it wrong. 

Some games do it right-almost. But small avoidable issues crop up time and time again - that a high up gamer could have pointed out at any point. 

Anyway. I guess I'm probably wrong, but still...
