When someone cuts something from their paysites, stories, audio and games are the first to go.

If people would pay for them, someone would produce them.

Ask Doug at Xamo how much time would go into developing something like that and how much he would charge for a custom version just for you or how much he'd have to charge for a feed to make it worthwhile. Then see if you'd want to pay it.
I'm not talking about feeds on paysites. I'm not talking about flash games. I'm talking about real, actual, playable games, not just "added content". Games that you sell as games, not as part of a paysite.

As for the "If people would pay for them, someone would produce them", it seems to me that it hasn't been really given a decent try yet in the west. On the other hand, in Japan it's a pretty big industry.
