How do we innovate and sway gamers into our corner?

My recipe:
1/4 cup of something old
1/4 cup of something new
1/4 cup something borrowed
1/4 cup of something blue

Mix thoroughly and salt for flavor!

I like that recipe.

My task is in fact to be part of that mission. It doesn't necessarily mean a brand new genre, but can mean a novel twist on a well known genre that is executed with top production values. This is actually the sort of thing customers want anyway. They like the familiarity of something they've seen before, but with a new feel to it - those are the most successful titles.
