Well, uhm.  I hate to break it to you, but gamers care a lot about combat
systems.  Gamers have been known to shun a game into bankruptcy because
the combat system sucked.  The combat system IS part of the game experience.
There's a huge difference between Fallout's action point system and World
of Warcraft's "global cooldown".  It matters.

See, you don't have a game concept.  You have a front end concept.  That's
way different.

You should.  If you don't care about spelling, you're gonna have a hell
of a time getting a computer to do anything.
