It's just the norm these days. Globally, developers are no longer likely to try new things because it nets a better profit to just do what the market really wants. In the west, you're likely to see an FPS, a TPS, and a western RPG. While the east is just rehashing what they were doing decades ago.

This is why kickstarters are the best place for the industry to go. Because the game is not decided by what the "data" the publishers apparently known, but what the market really wants. If they don't want it, it fucking dies. If they want it. They WILL support it.
