Gaming won't die, it's just being dragged in the wrong direction, with cinematic storytelling, gratuitous violence, and masturbatory graphical spectacle too often prioritized over gameplay.

All I have to say is no.

Your average "blockbuster" game has become all about these three things, with the gameplay dumbed down so noobs aren't scared off.

I'd rather see games prioritise the whole point of the medium; interactivity.

To tell if games are truly going in the "wrong direction" is to look at the obvious (sales).

What's the issue with "cinematic storytelling" ? Some games are actually successful with it. 

Videogames are mostly about violence so what's the issue here exactly ? Last I heard mortal kombat reboot was well acclaimed and had good sales too. 

Consumers will determine if a game is focusing too much on graphics or not and I'm pretty sure this is a non issue.
