not games but ideas. this is why ideas are pretty much worthless. with 8 billion folks and a few years someone else is going to think of it and within a few decades someone will implement.
Value is decided arbitrarily in our current economic system - beauty in the eye of the beholder. Ideas, even really basic ones, are worth a lot when pitched to people who have the money and will to implement them - think of shark tank/dragons den.
Last time I went for a blood donation an old nurse there handling recovery was telling everyone that there's millions of pounds to be made in creating packaging for use in hospitals - I think she was saying they need more easy tear stuff? Or maybe resealable, because that would be better for the environment. Already I'm losing my handle on that ticket out of poverty...
Anyway the point of that story is that it sounds like a simple idea, because anyone might realise they need better packaging for stuff; but it's the realisation of those ideas that escapes us.
