[2] In Croatian language is usual to use deminutive term for video-games. As we mentioned before, budgets and profits of AAA games surpasses those in movie industry; filmmakers are more frequently using video-games for templates, it's not the other way around any more. For instance, movies Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia: Sand of Time, World of Warcraft, Assain's Creed etc. In fact, you may compare profits from video-games with budgets of some minor world states. Thus, deminutive is tasteless.
