This is a new kind of series of blog posts and it is about bad game design choices that are used very commonly and hardly anyone pointing them out.

After writing the recent blog post "The dumbing down of games" I started asking myself the question: Is it the dumbed down games that create dumbed down gamers or is it dumbed down gamers that require dumbed down games?
It most likely is a combination of both, the question is more what is the bigger factor or the root cause.
