Games need something new

"Opinion: The Video Game Business Is Broken" is 2nd of 3 part series on future of gaming and tries to analyze what's wrong today. It seems too much money oriented but I think the play and empowerment are missing in games. The beauty of board games, for example, is that rules can be changed and do something different. Goalless computer games like Sims might be close to this but it isn't the same as rewriting the rules as you (and your friends) see fit.

See also the 1st part: "video games as soccer" which questions the need to appeal to "mainstream" consumers.
