Would you stop gaming if the game companies stopped making shooters and sports/racing games?

Nah, I don't like racing games anyway. And plus then they'd have to start making more hack-and-slashes, beat em ups, and ACTION PLATFORMERS, which would be awesome. Also, there would still be all those sweet RPGs floating around (though I usually only play one or maybe two a year, myself), so it'd actually be kinda cool. I'd like to see that, maybe just for three or four years, but I think it would make more more of a gamer for it, maybe.

Would suck for online though :?

The two genres I care the least for and never have played anyway? Obviously not. :P

Gaming can live without shooters. And I strongly believe that a break from shooters (like vadicta stated) would be a good thing for the industry.

I'd miss the racing games a bit but I wouldn't die from that.

Not at all. In fact, I support the motion towards game companies no longer making shooters and sports/racing games!

Nah..I just keep playing JRPGs. Shooters are one of my favorite genres, though. I just realized this last night after looking at my gamertag. I play a lot of shooters.

No. There's so many shooters out there that are so great it's rare playing a new one that sets the standard. I end up playing old shooters over new ones anyway.

I would not stop playing video games if they stopped making sports games and racing games. However, I want shooters. Shooters aren't just first-person modern warfare video games you know. A lot of games have shooting mechanics in it.

While I'd certainly be very disappointed if they stopped making shooters I wouldn't stop gaming as there are still plenty of other types of games that I enjoy playing.

I would be sad if they stoped making Racing games But shooters I could do without.

Plus I still have fighting games(which I love) and many other gaming genre's to enjoy.
