>several turn-based RPGs release in the past few years that sell and excel expectations, both of old IPs as well as new ones altogether, and everyone starts turning their heads
>the action RPGs are marketed horribly, limited in audience exposure, and are held questionably by fans of on-going series that are mixed about growing action in franchise that didn't used to be about it
>the "RPGs" that are actually selling really well besides the turn-based titles are all clones of other games entirely such as Soulslikes
There's an audience for turn-based gameplay, I'm not gonna say action RPGs are on their way out but companies got too complacent with churning them out and it turns out years of action push make people want something different again.
