You're serious? Are you aware of how cash cows work? The reason they pump out FPS games as much as they do is because pre-teen kids and frat boys will always buy them thinking it makes them hardcore mature gamers. That's the demographic FPS games cater to. Guess what? They're both loud, obonoxious, and usually retarded. The market is saturated with so many FPS games I can't even name all of them that came out this year alone. Something is wrong with that.
To put it simply, if people stopped buying every FPS game that came out, maybe we could get some actual originality into this dying media. Until then...keep fattening Kotick's greedy wallet.
Meh, i see it differently, I'd rather see the 'for the money lulz' companies flood only the FPS genre than crap up my RPG and other genres with cash-grabbing garbage, and cause brain-melting trends with those. I hope the mainstream continues to feed them.
Also, <3 the downloadable/indie games.
