Problem with Originality• Most that is different is not notable.
• Common becomes familiar.
• Most original ideas have to be copied before they get popular.
Problem with Complexity• Steep learning curve for hardcore gamers.
• Gentle sloping curve for casual gamers.Small variations.

Some axioms we agree on.
1. Any practise should result in net benefit to the developers.
2. Any practise should result in net benefit to the ecosystem.
3. Any other way the relationship becomes exploitative.
4. A solution cannot be deemed proper without taking into account the side effects.

Naming and shaming the cloners has a HUGE side effect.
Biggest enemy of creativity : FEAR
EVERY game borrows from somewhere in some way.
