Of curse we have to forget it.
A perfect game idea? So what?
When the big companies have to spend millions for the development of a game( damn you Wings Commander) they have to be sure that they are not going to loose money. This is the main reason that a perfect and very original idea will be thrown away. It is safer to produce sequels of existing games or to copy the best.
I remember when Doom came out. It was like a nuke to the world of computer games. ID managed to be one of the top companies with a shareware.! What happent then? Doom-clones everywhere and anywhere. Sure thing. They copy the Best. I remember thinking... when this is going to stop? Never. Doom-clones everywhere and anywhere. They copy the best.
Damn you Wings Commander.
