A tweet<\/a> from last week asked developers: “What’s in your game graveyard?

The deeper you go, the more thrilling these games start to sound, the richness and imagination that is forever out of reach.

I hope it’s not wrong that those two responses coexist. And that idea – the game graveyard – is just perfect. We need a game graveyard, I think.
