Now that is Total War, minus playing the battles. Turn based strategy, not realtime.

Have you played Gamedev Tycoon? It's really enlightening.
In there you research new "tech" of making games (new genre, new perspective, whatever) and you could create a really good game, and you do, and you fail. Because after you make an awesome game, the expectations for the next will be higher and you have to up it, otherwise the sales will plummet.
What has to be done then? Just make a bearable game which don't need much effort to overshadow... To sell the most retarded thing as good, and then even the mildly retarded will look like genius next to it.
It is really hard work to make anything good, and if it's done, people will take it as granted, and baseline.
Yeah, I won't pirate it either. It's like 70 Gigs. Wtf. I don't need flashy graphics, and great storied can be told on way less.
Again I just wish I could mod BG1-2 on Linux.
