I would think the reason for the recent appearance of these deep ocean species, are a result of the fact that in the last few years the fishing fleets have all but destroyed there regular shallow target species.
As such they have had to abandon shallow water fishing and are now fishing for what is left in the ocean. That seems to be deep water species. If you go to the fish market today. notice how many new and weired fish are now on sale. 10 years ago none of those fish would have been caught or sold.
there just is not much left in the shallow oceans for big fleets to harvest. And governments don't want to institute quota's for fear of effecting the fishing industry, and the employment of many thousands of people. Of course in the long run the destruction of the fish stocks will in any way result in the demise of a fishing industry. The difference being it won't be the current politicians problem now will it?
I think innovative games do have a chance in this day and age. They just shouldn't try compete head to head with the incumbents. That being said I think it will be quite difficult to have the same sales volumes as the big distributors who pump millions into marketing and getting their products on every advertising medium in front of customers.
Our games reporters are also conditioned today to focus on the big box titles because in a round about way, those big box titles pay their salaries....
But small dedicated communities are able to produce awesome products case in point: http://spring.clan-sy.com/
