Sometimes the idea behind the game isn't properly thought through. If an
idea makes sense, it can most likely be programmed with more or less
effort. It's true, some things aren't worth the effort to program, but
it is a trade off between time, effort and what you want to do.

Hi Al,
When you come up with a game idea, story line, etc then contract with a
developer to create the game there are two copyrights involved with the
production. First, as the person with the idea, game story, etc you
retain the original copyright ownership of your ideas and original
story.
Al, saying "i have no idea about programming but a great idea for a game" is
a bit like "I have no idea about engineering but a great idea for a car"
