It's all about money.
3D games = buy new graphic card.
Better 3D games = buy new processor, RAM, motherboard, graphic card.
Adventures = spend a lot of time thinking of a good plot, puzzles and such.
You can probably make 5 shooters in the same time you need to make an adventure.
5 shooters = 5 times more money then 1 adventure.
Shooters and MMORPGs = multiplayer
Adventures = no multiplayer
So it all comes to this. Software developers in accordance with hardware developers make games that constantly upgrade your hardware, need short time to make, make you buy a new game the second you finished this completely non-replayable game, play hours and hours on-line and as the result of all that SPEND A LOT OF MONEY.
