Responsibilities of the Consumer in the Entertainment Industry?

[eliasfrost]

But yet games like Last of Us, Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, Amnesia, Gone Home, Thomas Was Alone etc. sell. Not nearly as much but they are appreciated and much more widely and critically spoken about than CoD will ever be, perhaps not in the mainstream media but in the gaming industry it's the actual "good" games (that is the ones that try new things or have a very specific focus) that grab the attention.

I think there's a lot of unnecessary doom-saying amongst gamers these days, things are not even nearly as bad as some make it out to be. Gaming is bigger now than ever and the indie scene is flourishing more now than it ever have with lots of great ideas and discoveries that is getting much more deserved attention than it has before.
