It's not about cinematic games. It's about half assed sure bets that the industry keeps on spitting at us, year after year, with barely an ounce of imagination or creativity. The way every single product gets the streamlined and over-simplified treatment so the gullible morons of this world can understand everything in a few seconds without the need to ever really understand what the hell is going on.
Here's a visual example of what the Hollywoodification really is when applied to the gaming industry:

That game in 1993 cost 200x less than that game produced in 2010. If content cost the same, the 1993 and 2010 games would be identical if not showing the 2010 with significantly more complexity. Also there are plenty of games out there with even more complexity, any open world title comes to mind effectively.

I remember getting lost in those types of games and getting very annoyed until I found the right way to go, but there is no denying games need more variety.
