That said, the thread title doesn't fit well for the actual theme of the text.
Seriously though, it's a quite simple reason for today's games being where they are - making games is serious big business, it has developed over the years but also degraded. From making games with happiness, fun and imagination to making games for money and really mostly money, under the narrow corridor of dictation of whoever runs the development company and often with serious limits to freedom of imagination and fun. Making games has become a job, and jobs are rarely fun.
Hence why imagination remained mostly only in the indie scene, where people make freeware games for everyone.
