Not really sure what the correlation between Goat Simulator and the lack of innovation in the AAA games industry is.

Goat Simulator exists because Let's Plays are very popular right now, and just like with Amnesia: The Dark Descent, the devs are banking on someone watching someone else's video, thinking this game looks fun, and buying it. The only thing Goat Simulator does is by being so self-aware of the joke and is an example to the power a few YouTubers have over the medium.
