There has been some really great games that have come out that are way better than AAA titles. I'm not even sure why you have a problem with this.

No, not really, im not even hating on the GS game itself, im just worried the influence of it's popularity might have.

I know inde games are very wacky and they are an alternative to serious games with big budget franchises, but GS has a premise that is purposelly idiotic and like said, if it sells well enough this formula is bound to be replicated and exploited for a profit.

And that's my real problem, because GS is not pushing any real boundaries with video games, it's just fan service and dumb.

to put it another way, i think GS is fine as an individual title and as long as games like that don't become the vg industry newest fad.
