Gamer elitists, why do these people dump on other genres and their fans, like shooters or kinect titles? Where does it come from? What do they gain?

there is a reason people complain about those 2 genres:shooters and eyetoy-wii-kinect games.

noone would care about them if they would not have an impact on all other genres by trying either to turn other genres into shooters(already destroyed resident evil,turned mass effect into a pseudorpg) or by using the money that was used to produce AAA exclusives for casual kinect games or destroying brands(like fable).Combined with more and more browser and mobile crap games it seems to be a real threat for many gamers who don't like this sort of games because
As result you have instead of diversity and innovation just more and more of the same but less and less innovation.Many people are satisfied with this but many also hate this situation.
But those people complaining about shooters usually don't complain about the genre:yes they hate the overhyped always the same cods,halos,killzone but they'll never complain about bioshock,half life or deus ex which don't use the primitive fps-stereotypes.but those games are rare while even horrible crap shooters like aliens CM are selling more than 500k in the first week.

there are also other successfull games like gta -fifa-madden etc: but they have almost no impact on other genres therefore people don't bash them like shooters or kinect.

but there is one genre that was even more dumped than shooters and kinect:
heavy rain:there was so much hate about this game though it has zero impact on other genres or the gaming industry as it is still pretty unique and noone is trying to copy it.
this game was criticized in a huge unfair way especially by the shooter-gamers who never played this game and never will,therefore I think the shooter genre just gets what it deserves.
I'm a little sorry for kinect/wii/eyetoy gamers as they usually are not interessted in bashing others,but i have no sympathy for the shooter genre as many shooter gamers are as ignorant and arrogant as those who hate this genre.
