This debate is so weird. There is a push for diversity, that is welcomed by most for different reasons (suits are like "good optics", marketing people are like "possible market expansion", PR people are like "that might make the game stand out", artists are like "different things to draw", writers are like "different kind of stories to tell", game designers are like "new situations can lead to new mechanisms", consumers are like "hey I did not play that 20 times before", etc) and that creates a bubble of over-compensation with many not so creative people going for similar ideas. Nothing to whine or despair about. We are certainly not in a context where the industry is shrinking and less games are being made, so it's not really a problem - quite the opposite really - if video game get closer to other media in the variety of experiences it can provide and the variety of audiences it can reach.
