but it's not just the content that needs to be fun and enjoyable, even if it's not inovated on fully, it still needs to be fun and enjoyable and honestly some of yall need to sit down and think of something that YOU think would be innovating as in a unique never before done idea in X genre or in general

That's not my job. As a consumer, I can tell you what you give me that I don't like. (This is ignoring the many ideas that people have posted in this forum for years now.) However, it's not my place to do CSIII's job for them. If they can't think of ideas, then maybe they're in the wrong field.

True innovators try to anticipate customer demand, not react to it, as best exemplified by this quote from Steve Jobs:

“Some people say, 'Give the customers what they want.' But that's not my approach. Our job is to figure out what they're going to want before they do... People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on market research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page."

He even mentions that Henry Ford said, "If I has asked my customers what they wanted, they would have told me 'I want a faster horse'! " The customer can only tell you when they are not being serviced fully, when their needs aren't being met, and what they think is wrong. They can't give you the solution. That's not even their job. It's yours as a developer. As Ford points out, they might even give you the wrong answer to the problem.
