Hard to tell really. I think age is a contributing factor, you are no longer as "wowed" as you were when you first started gaming, because you've seen it all before. The newer generations of gamers are a different breed than the older folks, so never experienced some of the great things the old games had, and as such, are satisfied with the run of the mill stuff that comes out now, because that's what's good to them.
There are more of them than there are of us, just like how there are more young people than elderly people, so the trends are directed by them.
I find that as I get older, less and less games connect to me, and it's only the ones with deep universes and lore, are inventive or out of the box that entertain me.
But, as long as the current population of new gamers stays the way it is, then we will continue to get more run of the mill type stuff, with the inventive stuff sitting on the sidelines.
