What I mean by this is that do you feel a company like EA, ThatGameCompany, Sony, Nintendo, or even Square-Enix could make a game about a typical person living a typical life and dealing with their daily and rather normal struggle or do you feel gamers would be turned off without having some fantastical hook like the character solving a murder, or finding some dark secret, or aliens and zombies have to be required to push the sales up?

Many game like Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead deal with real life subject matters but are often pushed forward by a more sensational elements that helps drive the story and engage the player initially so the human interest part can then ensnare them and make them go to gaming blogs and write blogs about how wonderful it was. What I propose is whether you would be willing to play a game about a boy or girl living in a city, having a normal desk job, and dealing with pretty normal relationships? Think a Real Life simulator. Do you feel that due to the nature of gaming in our culture being a part of escapism makes it difficult for us to connect and we would probably ignore it on the idea the very premise doesn't sound engaging?
