yes and sadly that is what the industry is coming to.
They don't want real games they just want crappy after crappy game.
they have grone up just going bang, bang, bang.
To change that is going to be hard.
people like going bang for some reason never mind what sitting for
hours bashing a game does to you.
My brother has rsi because of his online playing over his teen years.
The condition he has has no name, is rsi like and as far as we know
not curable as such.
he has to be carefull how he does things and the thing is perminant.
So I know what heavy smashing does to a gamer or any system user.
I don't seem to get this sort of hash but my aunt that does one or 22
tasks a day repeatedly does have something like that.

that's because they put so much graphical content into the game and
not much else there's very little replay value. also the system
requirements for said games are becoming insane now. the pioneers of
games such as elite are still being talked about today and for very
very good reason. but i bet you 20 years down the line the games of
today or the very vast majority of them won't have the same following.

be great to include some articles to potential sighted developers
