They certianly have. To much focus on money instead of quality these days... But i do think the market (us the gamers) are starting to demand more qualitative and creative content. If there's one thing the market is good at, it's forcing companies changing their ways. :)

At least when scouring online forums and talking to fellow gamer's I get that view, so with a little luck i think we might hit another golden age of gaming soon, like the wonderful 90's and early -00 was! :D
