There is a difference from being commericial versus being original. Your examples certainly are not commercial but they aren't original either.
Forget the money for a moment.
Are there actually original films being made out there today that are any different then 50 years ago?
I know for a fact Music hasn't changed in 200 years let alone the last 50.
I am asking are there truly new idea's out there in the artistic mediums? I don't see them. This is a subject realitive to gaming since it is its own medium which is why I bring it up as phylisophical question.
For example does the film industry have a shelf life? If so what is that shelf life? Will there come a day when the medium (like books or newspapers) will die?
OR
Like "Painting" will the medium slowly fade because really there are only so many things you can put on canvas. That doesn't mean people won't continue to paint but is painting really relevant?
