well.. it is your problem if the developers don't make money... cause if they don't, they will stop making the games.
This is what will ultimately happen.
It isn't that fancy graphics suck, it is that we don't have the proper tools or know-how to really use it yet.
It is much like building giant sky-scrapers without any understanding of how to do it. You'll have many many buildings falling down.
More people should be working on new tools. Tools that can be used for many many years without being completely changed.
Right now, you have tools like Maya and 3DStudioMax being the standard.. When they are absolute abominations of design.
If these tools were improved, Or if other tools that are actually better replaced them. Then you would see everything become cheaper and easier to do.
If ALL the tools were updated.. and new ones invented to do tasks that right now take forever. You might actually see indie games compete with the AAA games for a change.
