I found this article where the author basically says the same thing
Quote:
The short answer is: "Great, you have an idea. Now start writing. (But, by the way, nobody will buy your idea, don't be silly!)"

interesting…. so, what if you're glutius maximous is in gear and your making a game….I think we shoul make a game marketing thread :D…
anyway, actually this marketing threa would go along, or close to this one, because you just arn't going to get you're idea in the door, will will have to work hard and make it yourself. (echoing article)

Aha… Interesting concept… And what a wonderful way to procrastinate till the End of Days, without feeling guilty ! ;-)
But how about this:
We are going to create a game template to assist you in developing your games.
Now, in the name of the Father, the Son and the HolySprite, get off your fat arse and get busy on that freakin' game you keep rambling about !!! :P

"God" has never helped someone with game design, he is only an agent of destruction. He created so many things that can kill you, venomous animals, storms, and he created humans, your own worst enemy.
I think you should never ask "god" for anything, just go with what you think is right. In the end, your consiouns (the thing that can make you feel bad, just not spelled right) tells you what to do or you'll feel miserable. Not everyone has a consiouns, they are "evil".
So, yeah, when i comes to selling ideas, you can sell ideas, be its very hard, but anything is possible. I can sell a toy design if the company thinks it is good and you have a prototype of the toy, its just how it works. First all you have to do is show a small bit of how the game would work, by making a trash level, with a programming language you know.
If they think the game would have promise, they might buy it and make it better, they would just have to buy the idea and make it better.

Interesting your view on the concept of "God"; while I do have a sh..eepload to comment on it, I think I'm going to hold it back. For now…
I think you're contradicting yourself; offering a prototype for sale is *NOT* the same as simply offering the idea. You're not just saying "Hey, I've got this idea; how much would you pay me to tell you"; you're actually putting something on the table, that represents some extra work on your side, past the initial "spark"…
Building a prototype means taking that original idea and developing it further; since a prototype is also generally fully functional (but not very polished), it means that you took onboard and solved at least some of the challenges arising from the actual development process, thus adding significant value to the original idea. This is the main reason why selling a prototype is *NOT THE SAME* as trying to sell just the idea behind it…

The article said something like this.
Selling a game idea is nearly impossible.
That still gives a percentage of hope, you can always do something.
To prove that, man can walk on the moon, not yet but in the future, we just have to make a suit to withstand those heats. So there you have it, anything is possible.

<1> Excuse me, but hasn't that (i.e. the "Man on the Moon" business) already happened? Does "20th of July, 1969" and "Neil Armstrong" ring any bells?! :-O
<2> ?!? What "heats"?! What the hell are you talking about?!?
