Why should they experience a "reality check"? They are absurdly profitable and very reliable in what they do. The exact same videogame but now it's this year is purchased by millions of people every single time. There hasn't been much change in madden since 08, except maybe in negative directions, but people still buy it, and have all sorts of cope reason, but they just don't really care that much.

The reality is, the "masses" don't want art, or carefully crafted experiences. What they buy in droves is junk food, reality television, and call of duty.
