This was something I started wondering about when I was reading a thread about Star Citizen, and about how space combat flight games were much less-common than they had been at one point, how fans of the genre were hungry for new entrants.
Looking at this list:

…there really were far more games in the genre being released in the late 1990s and early 2000s than there have been recently.
A similar sort of phenomenon occurred for World War II first-person shooters.

Back around the same time period, there was a glut of games in the genre, and they really have fallen off quite a bit.
Whether it’s a genre like these two, that hasn’t seen many new entrants recently, or a genre that just never grew as much as you’d like, what genre would you like to see more of?
GW2 has gotten way better throughout the years.
You probably mean the party based instanciated MMORPG? Not many around of those, that’s right.
I never finished all GW1 addons.
Oh don’t worry, I’ve played a shit ton of gw2. I just don’t think it’s a direct sequel mechanically.
