Maybe it's not the games we need to add or change, but start to question the sanity of the gaming community.
This really supports my original violent video-games and increased aggression among some people concept.

Violent videogames don't increase aggression, frustration does. I can kill a million guys in battlefield and feel great, or I could get spawn killed five times and get angry. I wouldn't be angry due to the act of killing, i would be angry due to the circumstances that surrounded my failure. You could see this same kind of aggressive frustration while constantly beating someone at a game while you have an unfair advantage.

Mixing genres is annoying because then you end up with stuff like MMORPGRTSFPSFlight simulator. Many games aren't strictly in First person either, so can those be considered First person shooters?

in portal, do you shoot things until they stop moving? no. plus, it is literally impossible to make an mmorpgrtsfpsflightsimulator. you are overreacting. mixing genres is perfectly fine because otherwise, we would end up with too many genres for specific games which is silly when we can just mix them, and removing genres will only lead to annoyance when looking for a specific type of game.
