Game developers must always tread a fine line between their artistic vision and the reality of what makes a good game as opposed to a desktop science experiment. Sure, the idea of an ultra-detailed space sim (for example) where you can literally control every aspect of the game might sound great in theory (just like Communism or car jousting); in practice, unfortunately, you might wind up with Battlecruiser 3000AD: A Derek Smart Pile of Steaming Monkey Feces, or whatever that bug-ridden mess was actually called. Games must remain games, but in the last 5-7 years there has been a growing dichotomy between how developers and marketing departments define what that really means. While developers realize that there are certain consumer accessibility requirements that games must meet, they also generally assume that their games can nonetheless exhibit a certain degree of complexity. Marketing departments, on the other hand, come from a long history of treating consumers of video games like 10-year old children, despite the fact that the demographics of this particular market have long moved into much more mature age groups.
