You're entire article is flawed, starting with saying that adventure games died. 1. Adventure games didn't died. As others said before, new ones are released every month. A new generation of gamers is rediscovering the genre in platforms like iPhone or iPad. 2. They were not bad games. You could have said that you don't like them, but saying they are bad is simply not true. Even people who are only now discovering adventure games are enjoying them because they are good. And no, it's not because of a marketing story.
