[NGR] Scientists Warn Original Video Game Idea Deposits Are Almost Depleted
A study released today has issued stark warnings that the supply of original ideas from which all video games are based on may run out within the next two years.
Pumped dry by liberals?
Video game ideas are found underground all over the world in deep deposits, but they may not be as deep as once thought.
The impending short-fall of originality is expected to be much larger than the World War Two Shooter Drought of the last decade which saw dozens of games forced to use the same idea.
Not all game production companys have been caught unaware however; a senior at Activision Blizzard told NGR that “we have been expecting and training for this for a while now.”
“We believe we, and many other large game companies, have the ground-work in place to allow one single idea to be stretched much further than previously thought possible.”
It is also expected that idea hybrids will become more common, with announcements of Madden of Duty and Bejewelled Clone Hero being just two recent examples of what many are calling a short-term, yet viable solution.
The US Government has said that if supplies reach critical levels they will start a new war outside of the Middle East on which games can be based.

I don’t agree with any of this. There are tons of original ideas out there. I’ve written mine down in details. The problem is that game companies aren’t after original ideas, they’re after quickly saleable ideas. Those are 2 different things. Quickly saleable original ideas are rarer.
“The US Government has said that if supplies reach critical levels they will start a new war outside of the Middle East on which games can be based.”
Funny, except for the fact that all this dubious multi-player interactive war porn/propaganda is part of what is killing off creativity in video gaming in the first place.
Attention clueless people: Please look at the top, where it says “Invalid Opinions, Unfounded News.” This is a parody of an actual news story.
Oh.. I knew it was a parody but I thought they were serious about the lack of original ideas. I do think a lot of games are unimaginative but it’s not because we lack ideas.
