I'd assumed it was because both of these are popular and appear to be a major driving force in the industry but they aren't a direction that those gamers like/agree with. Hell I'm pretty bored with shooters and it's unfortunate that they seem to be the majority of games moving forward, and I dislike Kinect just as much as I dislike Wii and Move motion controls because it's just not the type of gaming I like, and it's unfortunate to see the industry moving towards those as well.
But hey, maybe you're right, maybe it's because we're all nerds and were bullied in school. I know I was, but then I kinda thought most people who love something like gaming since childhood were a bit nerdy. Kinda sad that now the nerdy pastime is being taken up by people like you so I can't assume comradery with every person I meet with the same love of gaming.
TLDR: 1. Don't want industry to move towards shooters and motion gaming as a whole.
2. you suck.
