They don't make new and innovative...they make what sells. And people that play games rarely want something new. They want something that is fun. And whats fun is fun, whether its new or not.
Having said that, I think that with the new wave of consoles we are coming upon new things. From the sounds of the new Elder Scrolls, its going to similar, but much better. New, well sort of. And whats wrong with shoot-em-ups?
And finally, on the topic, I think that no one ever takes you seriously until you are in your thirties. So it makes sense that has the bulk of the game designers begin reaching the age when they expect to be taken seriously, they expect to be taken seriously.
