Newsflash: your experience is not universal. Just because you exclusively like one genre doesn't make it accurate to say that that genre is gaming itself.

I didn't say that the Premier League was dead during the first third or fourth of last season just because my favourite team played like crap and frequently got unlucky in the few games they didn't. Because that would have been equally ridiculous.

I know...I said that already...

You actually didn't. You clarified that you yourself play more than one genre without backing down from your claim that a hypothetical someone only playing fps would be justified in saying that gaming is dead just because their own favorite genre is.
