Honestly, I don't get bothered by this. If you and I are having a conversation and you know what I'm talking about then the name did it's job. Thing is, these names work because their popular, if I say character action game, regardless of how descriptive the name actually is, you'll 90% of the time still know what I'm talking about. Same with rougelikes, at this point the genre has strayed so far from rouge you could justifiably call it something else, but no one does, because everyone knows what a rougelike is. Thus we will continue to call them RPGs, rouglikes, character action games, beat 'em ups, and what have you.
