yeah. These are the people who have already had their ideas of what a genre is shaped by every single installment of it; someone at the point of making a pro-level FPS has probably played every notable FPS they can get their hands on. And they've got to make a few straight ones themselves before they can even begin to start questioning the conventions in the name of novelty, let alone moral grounds. If they ever do.
There's probably something to say about the cultures from the games they produce, too. Compare a game from a small and large developer from the US, France, England, Japan... the large Western games will probably all converge on the US market, but the small ones will show off their different cultural attitudes in a lot of subtle ways.
The bird game, as it stands, needs a couple more elements to juggle. I have a few ideas but none of them felt quite right. Or were really too much heavy lifting for Flash.
