Things you would change about the gaming industry?

Now, I did have an idea few minutes ago... but it's out of my head for the moment. I'll edit the post when the idea comes back to me.
 
So, what would you change about the gaming industry?

Breast bounce in every game!

I would introduce a law that prohibits games that primarily revolve around guns and explosions.
 
Seriously.

I'd have every console manufacturer and game developer to "re-manufacture" consoles and games, so that people who missed out can go buy a Dreamcast or a Neo Geo and their library of games without paying an arm and a leg.
 
A ridiculous idea, I know - but still one I'd like to see.

I'd bring Sega back as a major player.  I'd put Japan back to where they were in the 90's as far as their game quality.  I'd make Nintendo make games and consoles specifically like SNES in design attitude.

I'd get rid of Microsoft.

I'd like more games that are good and less games that are bad.

If anyone ever made a game with cut scenes they would have to be interactive and/or skipable.

Make all games and content region free! (same thing for the movie industry, region free!)

• Adult themed games getting designed for adults and not kids.
• Stop the trend of PC games getting short changed in too may ways to list.
• Seeing more turn based tactical RPG's get made, specifically for the PC.
• Stop with all the Warcraft clones and games set in a fantasy setting.
  

Activision gone.

" Activision gone. "

Wow guys. You hate guns, you hate explosions, you hate Microsoft, you hate cutscenes, you hate Activision. Why do you even play games?

Monopolize, every game through me. MUAHAHAHAHAHAH
 
 I don't think there is much to realistically change for me, without removing the entire business aspect of the industry.
 
So uh, I'll be the overseer of all games.

I would make it so that it would be illegal to release a sequel to a game within 18 months of the original. But otherwise, I am fine.

I would outlaw there being more than 3 sequels to a game 
and outlaw the concept of planing a to have multiple sequels because I've heard 100s of times
game makers say we didn't put this in because we wanted to save it for the sequel

I would have a lot more women on development teams.

also I would outlaw the colors gray and brown 
I want games with color again

I hate DLC! Wait a minute let me explain.....Seems the trend in game production now is to wait until a game has gone gold, then remove 20% of the finished product to be sold separately  (see Tomb Raider) This is Bullshit. Capcom selling DLC that unlocks information already on the disc (See Street Fighter 4). This is Bullshit. But the worst by a mile has to be the trend of selling DLC that unlocks everything in the game for lazy people (See Skate 2). This is really bullshit! Remember a time when this was done with a cheat code? Have we got to the point where game companies think it's OK to ask for real money for a fucking cheat code?
 
DLC should be there to add to a game, not complete it.

That doesn't sound too bad actually, though it will probably never happen. "

Quality Control.

Trim the fat and go with small teams. Have fun.

No more using false advertising like bullshots, rather it has to be real screenshots. I'm mostly talking about ps3 screenshots that looks nothing like the screenshots released after the game is out. Of course there are other games that are every bit as responsible like fake forza 3 screenshots, however it's mostly ps3 screenshots because real screenshots looks aweful and dull on a 256mb gpu for textures. They want to post screenshots of what they wish their games looks like rather than real screenshots. I want it to be gameplay screenshots with a hud and life bar and everything, not cutscenes or renders with no jaggies at all.

I would abolish pre-order bonuses.
 
I would also want developers to focus less on graphics but I'm not sure if that would fly with the average buyer.

-Competition in the retail market instead of just Gamestop. 
-Less rehashes, more originality.  
-More support of original games. Abysmal sales for Banjo Kazooie N&B and Valkyria Chronicles disgusts me.   
-No DLC.  
-Less patching, a developer should actually finish a game before they release it.
-More retail appreciation of older games.  
-Microsoft to stop charging limbs for accessories to make their main console package seem oh so cheap.   
-Nintendo to remember about F-Zero, Pikmin, Kirby, Star Fox, Wave Race, 1080, and Donkey Kong, or make a new franchise.       
-Sony to put PS2 software BC back in PS3s. It works fine, and there's no "it costs money" excuse to be had. IT'S SOFTWARE.
-People to stop saying digital distribution of full-length games is the future. It is a short-term convenience and a long-term waste of money.  
-Less gimmicky motion controls. For most games, it is just a tacked-on feature. I'd like to see it done right more often, in real games, or not done at all if it isn't necessary. 
-Less idiots who insult other platforms with no valid reasons and claim to be a fan of games. 
-Less lazy ports.  
 
I could think of more, but this is enough for now. 

- The idea that video games are just for kids and that they make kids violent (thanks to the media and older folks)
- No DLC (not likely) 
- Rhythm games on a 3 year cycle rather than ever year (or every couple months with guitar hero)
- No more stupid fantasy games with elves, orcs, etc.
- (Remastered) Goldeneye released on 360 and PS3 just to screw with Nintendo
- Every franchise available on every console
- Complete removal of exclusivity / timed exclusives / exclusive DLC
- And in general for game companies to actually have some balls and break a few boundaries socially through their games (Iraq War game, etc)

Leaving shit out of the original game purposely so they can charge extra for it through DLC.

A true 12 month schedule.
 
Not this "Release as much as we can in Q4," nonsense

Fanboys (and girls).

VR. It's the future baby.

Get rid of dumb buzzwords like "next-gen" and "AAA."

can somebody explain to me please, whats wrong with activision ?  I've only seen their logo on the best games ever "

I would get more creative people from outside the game industry into the game industry. Left to our own devices, we seem to make realistic games that defeat the entire purpose of the medium. So, instead, get someone creative from outside of games to oversee the world, concept, et cetera. That'll be when we get actual innovation; when people with new ideas have avenues and resources to see these games made. 

" Wow guys. You hate guns, you hate explosions, you hate Microsoft, you hate cutscenes, you hate Activision. Why do you even play games? "

• Pre-order bonus content
• DLC
• Timed exclusives
• Exclusive DLC
• Better support for BC - (I'm talking to you Sony!)
• Less Patching/More quality assurance
• More creativity/Less Waggle

I want to see less emphasis on console innovation and more emphasis on just making good games or helping developers make good games....I just want to see more good games!!!!!
