Happy now?

also, aiming at a big audience is suicide, The gulf between gaming groups is too big, each one hating Everything the other demographics hate, sure, there is a small demographic that loves any and all games, but, they are hated on by everyone else. because they are apathetic. sure, Infinate may be one of the most looked forward too games of 2013, but once the word gets around that "it sucks" its going to take a sharp nosedive in sales. its aiming at too many people, that means its just going to anger all the main demographics, and thus, it wont appeal to anyone but a small band of "i love all games" wishy washy liberalistas,and will sharply nosedive in sales after everyone who pre-ordered it gets it and the word goes round the internet that it is a Bad game. you aim at 2 audiences, tops, the wishy washies and the "target audience", and you forget all other audiences, or youll get a game that falls between to stalls, fails to appeal to any particular demographic, and flops.

You don't try and market an economy hatchback to exotic car owners, because it will fail to appeal to them, too slow, and they will stick to there exotic sports cars, while the rigid suspension and silly racing parts will turn off the retirees and school mums who normally buy such cars, who will then just go and buy a nice sensible toyota auris instead. its the same with games, you dont try to aim a game like bioshock at call of duty fans, because it wont appeal to them, and they will stick to call of duty, while all you will do is make the old fans Furious because they will feel betrayed and sold up the river, so they will go and buy something that hasnt sold them out instead, and you end up with a product that, once the pre orders have sold out, nosedives and flops.

Just like deus ex human revolution, soon as the pre orders gained from the massive hype had all been shipped, and word got round the internet it sucked, the game nosedived, the same will happen with infinate.
