I wouldn't say they killed video games, but.
Let me put it this way and I think that's what Eddiespruce meant, every since they came along they became extremely popular, more and more companies tried they're hands at making them, thus diverting more attention from other genres. Gotta follow the market and make money at it. Personally I don't care anymore, I mean I've liked old generation FPS's and even though they're old they still have they're charm, I just don't like the genre. I think online play killed RPG's, don't get me wrong now and this is only my opinion but only when it comes to applying the function to old school RPG's it takes from everything until the game is left bared down to the minimums in personality, story, characters, etc, Lets get together and kill monsters in a dungeon for 10 hours strait, just to get more equipment and level up to the highest point the character is ok is fine but when the game is just that and then nothing... Not my thing, I need more meat on the bone. I don't care if you're a fan of them or not, that's your choices, I'm saying that I think it killed RPG's (For the most part) as we knew them and that bugs me.
I'm an old fart though I play old school 2d games for the most part and ever since they disappeared to 3D, lets just say that part of my died in that era.
Happy to see that they are making some kind of a comeback in the APS department.
