The reason they aren't and hopefully never will be allowed on the main showcase/WIP boards is that it takes considerably less time to make a game or generally anything that is 'showcase worthy', the WIP topic's
rules state that you need to make a thread with at least a couple of screenshots I believe, and maybe a small description of your game, a quick look at the FPSC showcase will tell you that this is amazingly easy to do, click a few buttons and you'll meet this criteria, this is unfair because getting to the stage where you can post screenshots of more than a spinning cube using DBPro/GDK it takes considerably more work, so all the DBP/GDK projects will be overshadowed by the torrent of point-and-click made games.

For MMORPGs maybe, as they are pretty much all cookie-cutter these days and lack any drastically new features/risky(oo can't have that) ideas.
Quote: "all the games look the same to you..? are you for fu**ing real?"
Look doesn't have to mean graphics, take FPSC for example, many games may graphically look different but when watching a video of them or playing them they
look the same, because the engine is rather limited, I haven't really looked into RC at all but I doubt it's any different.

I've made many games before and probably far more than you, I've not seen any RC/FPSC game that's impressed me or shown quality, quality graphics, sure. But graphics can only get you so far on a poor/limited engine.
Also I just looked at the RC
gallery, am I looking at the same project here? They all look the exact same, basic terrain with flat textures, either very poor or no lighting, same HUDs pretty much, the only differences I see are the graphics which aren't exactly good.
