- "2D games look outdated... well, 'cause they are." Since when? If this was really true, nobody would use/buy any of the utilities such as Game Maker, The Games Factory, Multimedia Fusion, etc. Becuase these programs are made for easy 2D game creation. If 2D was outdated, these utilities would be long dead. As far as I can tell, MMF is still going strong.
- "No current console has the grunt to efficiently run a fullfledged, current generation 3D editor" - *COUGH COUGH* I happen to own such game. Hypersonic Extreme has a 3D Track maker. If you want to know more about it, just search for "Hypersonic Extreme"
- That's as much as I'll correct for now. Fell free to say how wrong I am.

- No, with the exception of MMORPG's such as Everquest, the most popular online games are first-person shooters. It's true.
- 2D games look outdated because they lack the detail you can find in 3D games, and given that they can run on antiquated hardware I think this just proves the point. Utilities such as game maker and the games factory aren't used by the gaming industry to produce games for good reason.
- By full-fledged 3D editor I mean an editor that allows for custom 3D-models, on-the-fly rendering of BSP, meshes, lightmaps, etc. I am 99.99% sure that this 'Hypersonic Extreme' editor doesn't have the complexity or functionality of editors such as UnrealEd, GKRadiant, or other map-making tools such as 3DS Max and Lightwave.
- Yes sir.
