Then you realize there's a point where it all starts to hybidize, to the point where Indie pixel games, in repicating the classics, are the only thing not hybridized with adventure elements(though, even a number of those).To that degree though, yeah, you might occasionally get a release like something in the Monkey Ball, or Earth Defense Force series, where it's more of a series of a crapload of quicker stages. If neither of those get to an aggravating point for the player...(the balancing act that the former is, or the far too many enemies to cope with, if you choose a character with weaker weapons for some stages in the latter).
There's a myriad of ways of looking at the ol' hobby. Some may just need to quit, and find an alternative, others may need to slow down a lot, or just figure out their few infinitely replayable favorites. Some can just keep going with it as they always have.
