Video games in turmoil amid audience shift

Gamepro writes: "The tension between traditional game design and casual-friendly titles was palpable at the Game Developers Conference this February. Video games, while growing like gangbusters, are in the middle of an identity crisis -- a crossroads.

The look of gamer uncertainty purists argue that changes to include the broad public will only dilute gameplay, making it shallow and less familiar. Others, however, spearheaded by a surging Nintendo, say change is needed if we are to grow, otherwise the industry could stagnate much like music has in recent years."
