Are the video game industry's non existent entry standards

Do you think everyone who makes a videogame becomes rich and successful?

Good I think. While there's a lot of crap out there, you get gems which simply wouldn't exist in the AAA space.

What industry has entry standards? Certainly not filmmaking or book writing.

Good since we'd be stuck with playing the shitty games you love like CSGO, hitman, dota 2, gta 5, etc.

I don't play a single one of those games.

Frank Zappa said he liked the old style music producers who were these old cigar smoking types who didnt give a shit about music as long as it sold because they allowed a lot of freedom in music ironically enough. They would produce anything as long as someone would buy it. What he hated was the new wave of "cool" producers who were music lovers themselves since they were obsessed with forcing their own personal taste down the throats of everyone and only producing stuff they liked.

Is something similar happening with games now?

Music industry kinda does because one company owns all the radio stations or something. I remember some doc about it and how one band was basically told they had to be more like [popular band] or their music wouldn't be put on air or record.

Not necessarily. The things that make the most money in games are typically terrible, terrible things that objectively make your game worse. Publishers are of course going to tell their devs to shoehorn as much of this garbage as they can in.

Some people are so indoctrinated by consoles and AAA companies that they think it's all we should need.

You know, I think the Games industry mirrors how the rock music industry was in the late 60s through the 70s. You had these nerd-chic/high-brow academic faggots reading the equivalent of Polygon (Rolling Stone) treating any bullshit psychedelic "indie" band of losers as the highest form of art. They praised the "message" and "political commentary" over musical substance all while shitting on any band actually trying to expand rock. Read some reviews for early Yes or Genesis albums to see how much they were despised in these magazines and by "the cool kids."

In the 70s, Punk was continually lauded by these magazines and shoved down people's throats while bands like Rush, Rainbow, Judas Priest were ignored and considered "dorky."

I think there is a parallel here, with the current state of games. It's correcting itself and you can see it in the success of Japanese gameplay-oriented studios as of late. As much as these hipsters keep telling us how great and "punk rock" their latest pixelshit San Fransisco love story is, the market is proving what people really want.

Frank Zappa, while musically talented, was also a moron so I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt.
