Are guns in video games holding the medium back?

Well there are more gamers now than ever, so how are guns in games holding the industry back?

Guns are put into games that don't need them. Watch Dogs 2 could have been a stealth game without any guns and would have been as good but it has guns so that it can sell enough to make a profit. Uncharted has guns and shooting and as I pointed out it feels out of place with the narrative and characterisation of Drake.

Also games like Dishonored have guns where they don't need them. I could add more games to this but you get the point.

You also see so many FPS games because of the popularity of guns in video games. This gen there isn't a single new AAA hack and slash game on PS4 and there are so many shooters. That is because shooters sell.

Well then buy non shooters. The WiiU is full of them.
