"It’s healthy to bring much variety to games."
OK I hope the rest of the industry was taking notes when he said that because no truer words have ever been spoken.

I support that. And I like Harvest Moon (and violent games).
Yes, variety is what we need.
Inovation sells. Who would've guessed?

Love the HarvestMoon games. I generally pick up all the new ones and play them on and off until the next comes out. It's a guilty pleasure.
I've just never been able to get into these games. It's kind of weird... I feel like if a big RPG game had farming as a mini-game, I'd get lost in it for hours and hours if it was as deep as Harvest Moon, but because that's all Harvest Moon is, I just don't have any urge to play it at all.
I really need to pick up a Rune Factory game to see if that's basically what it is.

I thought this was going to be some scathing criticism of some developer who hates the game industry or something, judging by Jim's wonderful patented satirical artwork and the subtitle for it being "industry bull". But both Jim and Wada make a good point. If you don't like what's being made be creative and make something different instead of destroying something that someone else enjoys.
It's nice to know that there's people out there than instead of saying what kind of games we should stop making; thinks that it's an opportunity to do something different!
I got hooked by the title, was not disappointed by the twist. I read an article about Harvest Moon on the SNES when I was little so much that I probably wore out the magazine. I would read that because I didn't have it yet, and when I finally got it, I must have played through it 7 times. Love that game.
I love Harvest Moon, I mean loveee loveeee loveeeee the series. I have not been extremely in love with some of the recent DS iterations, but Rune Factory has saved me there. Right now my DS has Friends of Mineral Town in the GBA slot and Rune Factory 1 in the DS slot.
Wada is one of my favorite developers. The guy helped shape my attitude towards game design as I grew up and learned to develop games myself. I though, "If he can make an awesome game out of something mundane as farming, that's proof that game developer's vision is too narrow."
I was expecting an actual violent influence to harvest moon. It should have said harvest moon creator says obvious thing.
One of the most sensible statements to come out of the industry in awhile and I fully agree. The violent games have their place, but variety is beautiful. That being said I haven't played since the SNES era, how's the series faring these days?
Oh yeah, then why did this sick motherfucker let my poor chicken die in the rain. I held his corpse in my hand as I cried on the roof of my house. If only they didn't survive indefinitely while on the roof, they must have weather cock in their blood.
Bullshit, he doesnt remember nothing about his inspiration. He needs to shut up and get out with his trying to get noticed ass. Yeah i said it cause im edgy and im about to freak.
