I don't think so. Some developers put way too much emphasis on creating a cinematic experience and it can interfere with making a good game. But I don't think that's a big problem in the industry. You can just avoid the games from that developer, much like you can avoid an M Night Shamimilihaniganihan movie if you don't like his style. After Beyond Two Souls I'll probably never play another David Cage "game" again but that doesn't make me enjoy other games less.

I mean, for every overly cinematic game you can probably list 20 that don't use many if any cinematic elements.
