The action genre taking over every other genre? RPGs next?

Sounds more like the RPG genre is taking over every other genre.

You going to bring up puzzle quest?  What I see happened is that the action genre seems to be a place that has ever other genre brought into it. 

When something is taking over something else, then the other thing being taken over becomes weaker and less relevant.

More and more games are adopting RPG mechanics like leveling up, stat building, perks, persistence, etc. Especially action games. It seems there are fewer and fewer purely skill-based action games.

If there seem to be fewer pure RPGs, it's probably because RPG elements are so ubiquitous that everything is an RPG now!
