As long as I have been in the gaming industry I constantly saw people making tons and tons and tons of games focused entirely on dwarves, there must be thousands out there. I think first of all this a big problem, for me the gaming industry was supposed to be about inovation, trying new things, taking risks,... All those games on dwarves are essentialy the exact same thing, the same themes, there is nothing new, interesting or even remotely fun for someone not obsessed with dwarves, most to be frank are very very bad.
My explanation is that it's very easy and cheap to make games on dwarves, so lots of people will make them. But those games aside from very very few of them sell very poorly and fail which does make sense because not only do you appeal to dwarf fans only and no one else, and this is a very loud and annoying but not so big fandom, but dwarf fans themselves won't buy dozens of games a month, they may pick a few and ignore the rest.
And again those games never offer anything else aside from dwarves so most people would have no reason to pick them up. I just wonder who those games are supposed to be for anyway? I see many people being sick and tired of this sea of dwarven slop and making their voices heard on top of not buying or even looking at those games, yet game devs seems to live on another world and keep making them. I'm glad ease and repetitive games are not paying off, this is how it should be, now how to make game devs realize this so they can start doing games that are a bit inovative and interesting.
On a sidenote while we get thousands of games on dwarves I cannot find any games on elves, while they are far more interesting and I feel a lot could be done with them, while it would indeed be more complicated than making simple dwarven games. Still there is a demand and they would sell well for sure, so why does no one jump in on this occasion?
