Does every fucking game nowadays really need to be some variant of "rogue"-something?
I know I've ranted about this before, but...
Seriously, it feels like half or more of the games that show up in my Steam Discovery queue these days are something of the "rogue" variety, and I'm well past the point of getting sick and tired of it. I loaded up a list of all the tags on Steam, and there are no less than six different variants of "rogue"-something tags: "Roguelike," "Roguelite," "Action Roguelike," "Roguelike Deckbuilder," "Traditional Roguelike," and "Roguevania."
There really, truly does not need to be that many variants of "rogue"-shit. It is ridiculous. It is fucking asinine. Please stop, video game industry. Just stop.
