Most video games are "boring" or too complicated, and game makers need to do more to appeal to casual players, according to the head of the world's largest video game publisher, Electronic Arts.
"We're boring people to death and making games that are harder and harder to play," EA chief executive officer John Riccitiello told the Wall Street Journal in a story posted on its website.
"For the most part, the industry has been rinse-and-repeat," he was quoted as saying. "There's been lots of product that looked like last year's product, that looked a lot like the year before."
The comments were made as the $30 billion video game industry prepares for its annual gathering, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or €3, in Santa Monica, California.
