Why did immersive sims have to die out?

Why did immersive sims have to die out?
Do zoomers really just prefer big open soulless open worlds over tightly knitted sandboxes?
I just hope that the trend of indies jacking off doomwads will move on to System Shock-likes.

All trends eventually die, in 10 years zoomers will be complaining they miss whatever bullshit it is they play

This post would make sense in like 2010, there's been a shit ton of those types of games in recent years.

Oh cool, imm sim thre-

immersive sim isn't a real genre, it's more of an arbitrarily defined characteristic of some first person games.

immersive sims dont exist m8. It's a made up term

>I am cut so I will never enjoy something like this
Fuck this gay earth and fuck jews. Of course, feminism only acknowledges FGM and never MGM.

Shenmue is a Japanese immersive sim.

video game genre names don't make any sense

Prey did fine. Playing Mooncrash (the DLC) blind is what really scratched the itch for me.
nothing will ever surpass your nostalgia, even if it was incredible

all genres are arbitrarily defined characteristics loosely shared between games, do not be an autistic loser please

real genres surface when these arbitrarily defined characteristic become codified, influential and are used as a template for hundreds of future games for decades to come
immersive sims never entered the gaming mainstream. the few games usually defined as such are wildly different from each other, and were originally inspired themselves by different, unrelated games.
by all definitions, immersive sims failed to successfully coalesce into a proper genre, and are now effectively a buzzword thrown around by system shock fans and very few others

I'd say immersive sim is design philosophy rather than genre.
