Hi I was interested in some facts how the gaming-industry grew in the last years and to my surprise I found that it is not growing at the moment. Here are some facts:

http://archive.gamespy.com/stats/

To my surprise I found that older games are still much more interesting for the people than new games for online-play. When you see the stats on Steam or Gamespy the new engines (like Source) are not "on top". Also the old titles (Half-life1 etc.) had much more copys than new games (HL2). I don´t know much about the gaming-companys, how do you think about it?
