Is it me ... or is Zombie Apocalypse Survival games the new genre that is going to be over-exposed in the next 6-12 months?

I am not saying these are not good games. I am saying that with so many similar games out there, it will be tough for all of them -- and perhaps any of them -- to do well.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

tlou and dayz are pretty much garunteed to do multiple millions, the rest could go either way. The only really similar ones are dayz and warz. And remember these are mostly on 1 platform, so ps3, 360, and wiiu are only getting one each, with pc getting 3. So itll only feel crowded if you have 3 platforms, or maybe 2 if ones pc

The first ones to market should be OK. But if two years from now, ZAS games are as prevelent as FPS games, then there could be a problem.
