I agree. The reason game guides make money at all is because they have shops like Gamestop pushing those guides with every purchase. Not many a gamer is going to pay even $5 for a video guide they have to watch the entirety of if they just want to know how to do X thing when that's freely available in multiple forms elsewhere. For specific things gamefaqs and achievement guide videos are already a well established free "product".A business is not just "people want X." It has to at least fit the "ENOUGH people want X and are willing to pay for it or are valuable enough as users in order to be sold to advertisers." The morality of that can be debated to death and isn't very interesting, but the reality of it is something we seem to miss a lot.
