Well it's an important set of concepts.
I find it funny that people think their generation was the last one that was truely belonging to gamers. I mean you say that the PS1 was the last consol with gamer games, but according to Penny Arcade the PS1 was the first consol to appeal to rich, cool, non gamers, giving off our culture. In the same way some people here say Gears of War 2 is a gamer's game, when the game has had mass appeal among non gamers as well.
What are games for gamers anyway? Are they harder, or do they play on nostalgia? I mean the first Blizzard game I played was Warcraft three and even though I knew how to play stategy games, the tutorial made me intensly happy, it was like the game was baptising me into its world. So I think that when a company makes a game it should ignore gamers entirely, it should create a virtual experience that uses a controller and if the gamer is entirely baffled of what their product is before having have used a tutorial then good! Let them be knocked off their moral high horse and back to a time when they didn't rock at a game before they'd even played it.
Ofcourse all these demands are completely unreasonable considering the raw amounts of money and man power required to make a game in the modern world. **tear* )...;
