** I don't know, seems too specific a gripe. Unless you're talking about the cliche of how a character can be suddenly seen as a monster by their closest friends for ''one'' misunderstanding. That plot device certainly does get old, but I doubt there's much that can be done about it.
* Developers (Especially newer developers) always thinking in grandiose concepts that more experienced developers have done, and better than "New Development Sudio X's First Game Where You Fight Big Armies". Even if you're working with a HD 3D game that shouldn't mean you over-extend your budget and end up crashing the studio!

** Not sure, but you never know if it'll happen.
*** Yes, better safe than sorry, but why only videogames. We ''know'' about light-pattern-triggered epilepsy because (AFAIK) of Pokemon -- the series, not the game. So... again, why only videogames get the warning?
