I agree; but I also can't help but remember how long it took for "ARPG" to be coined and we stopped calling everything a "Diablo-clone." Or how we still refer to things similar to Rogue as rogue likes. Do we, as gamers, just... Suck at naming things? 🤔
we still need to say Diablo clone because everything is an ARPG now, look at the tag on Steam
To be fair, naming things is hard.
MOBA was pretty quickly adopted.
