All you See Sweets can keep trying to quantify what it is gamers like. The truth is its ephemeral until it is materialized and on our screens. You never know how fun your thing is until milliona of people can access it. So stop trying to codify it, or find a formula. There is none. Make fun shit, take all the risk. Make new shit that no one has ever made before. But for the love of fps fucking please don't pretend you've drilled down on what gamers like. Thats a promise to fail.

A quick 5 minute search shows me that this is true. Lots of articles and lists out there. And the only games I could see that weren't sequels or remakes, are Starfield and Harry Potter.

This isn't a new development either. Pong had a sequel.
