Under what circumstances?
Probably being Japanese.

Yeah, and that's a serious problem. Video gaming going mainstream and acquiring Hollywood-sized budgets may actually end up killing the entire industry.

This article has a hell of a lot of truth to it. The industry is not-so-slowly killing itself. You can't apply a Hollywood paradigm to the game industry--the numbers just aren't there. You can't have a game with a multi-hundred-megabuck budget and expect to do well. You'd have to sell millions of copies just to break even--and selling millions of copies in gaming is... unlikely.
