We will never see consistently good games until the Communist Nirvana is achieved. If a game is good it is entirely by accident, or it slipped past the attention of the soulless capitalist oppressors.

"communist nirvana" will get you the same shitty games since they're what most people play. Or the ministry of culture might decide video games are bad for you and ban them altogether.

Sarcasm doesn't translate too well on the interwebs.

But I will say, we won't see consistently good games, until they are as cheap and as easy to write as books are.

Corps have a very low chance of writing good games, because they are not trying to write good games. They are trying to write games that sell well at Walmart. That fact makes much of the critical discussion here pointless.
