Yeah, we should if we feel they are getting bland. At least with humans there can be different types of enemies, with zombies they all look the same, have the same mindless killing instinct, and follow a similar story archetype. Zombies are in so many games now, even if the game shouldn't have anything to do with zombies. 

With humans, you can have a million different settings, different personalities, different atmospheres. In zombie games, it's very similar game-to-game. Almost always post-apocalyptic, someone gets infected, rest of humanity has to survive. It's practically its own genre now, like RPGs or platformers.

Consider zombies a variation on humans, with numerous variations of its own.  I'm personally not in the opinion that they are getting bland.  Quit playing zombie games if they are getting bland.  They may have made zombie DLC, but that doesn't affect the main game, it just adds a new spin to the game.  What's wrong with optional variation?  There are numerous other types of games, lots of dragon games.  

Difference is dragon games don't have practically an entire genre dedicated to them.

You're right though, I tend to stay away from zombie games. Speaking my mind against them is also within my right, just as you liking them is yours. Zombie has become what FPS was last generation. A lot of people love them, but a lot of people also wish devs would spend time on more original content.

If you feel that zombies aren't represented enough, feel free to make your own thread.
