That's a bit like saying "I wonder if movies will evolve out of the defeating the villain focus". Sure there's plenty of that but the medium is so massive you can find something to suit any taste. I like shooters and they were still only about a third of the games I played this year.

Could you elaborate on this a bit? To contrast, I think of Fallout 3. Sure, there is a lot of violence out in the wasteland and it kind of stinks that I can't, say, reason with mutants. But at the same time, I would not characterize the dominant expression of agency being mediated through violence, but dialog. Are there any games specifically (besides those with a shooting focus like Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc) that capture your sentiments?
