Spot on. Developers just massively dumb down their games. Like with the disappointing Fallout 3. The "kids" might not get it.
**edit: the irony is that kids are smarter than developers think
I remember, when PC gaming really took off in the late 90's, we had Quake 2, HL, HL2, CS, Red Alert, Starcraft, Diablo 2, etc, etc, etc all within like a 5 year span.
Now... still waiting on HL 3. Battlefield 3 is ruined by a massive influx of CoD kids, Diablo III was a disappointment, Blizzard is charging full price PER CAMPAIGN for Starcraft 2, etc, etc.
