EoF is right.

The video games industry is growing to become a major factor in entertainment. Sure, you won't find a virtual Hollywood where Lazy Jones, Pacman, the Mario Bros, Lara Croft and the others live, and it still finds it hard to be accepted as an entertainment phenomenon as the movie indutry, but the fact is that it is getting as important as Hollywood or Bollywood, spewing out products for the masses. The grumpy, living-in-the-past abandonhead lot that we are will never become an important target group for these companies. Movies again: I prefer older movies, not because they're old, but because they offer me what I want in a movie, even if they don't have the latest digital special effects. But as with underground/indie movies, you have underground/indie games. Take 5 Days for instance. Here's a fairly new game that takes me back to "the Glorious Days Of Old".
