Those few masterpiece romance novels don't change the fact that they're read exclusively by middle-aged housewives, those masterpieces don't stand out because romance novel readers aren't looking for masterpieces, and those masterpieces aren't going to attract new readers because they're still romance novels. I think It's noble that gamelab is trying to elevate the state of casual games, but honestly I think you're casting pearls before swine; casual game players are not sophisticated enough to tell the difference between your exquisitely-crafted casual games and Bejeweled, and more discerning gamers will be driven away by the "casual" branding.

Genres are only as good and bad as the work being done within them, and there's plenty of fine and dandy games in the casual space if you can pick them out from the Match 3s and Diner Dash clones. Hell, I work for a company trying to make more of them. Oh, there’s plenty of dull, uninspired Neo-Geo games too, you know.
