Would an industry crash be such a bad thing?

Ooh I do want CoD to go down in popularity. By like a lot.

Too many games have a shooting mechanic solely cause of CoD and that kills gameplay diversity.

Except in an industry crash CoD would likely be one of the last AAA tentpoles along with GTA, TES, Assassin's creed and Mario etc so those franchises would be likely more popular and influential than ever due to less competition. Because you know they still are profitable it's everything else that would die or be reduced to low budget downloadable releases/ freemium phone games.

 

I never said we needed a crash for that to happen.

If anything it'll go down the Guitar Hero route, people will just get tired of the yearly releases after a while. Shooter Bubble looking to burst soon. Open-World/Sandbox looking to become the next "thing".
