If this were 2008 yes this would be true, though even back then about half of them mixed pozzed shit in.

Boring horrorshit, not at all what OP was talking about and you know it.
You should have mentioned quake 4 or star wars republic commando but those are 20 years old ffs.
The badass pro-humanity space marine killing aliens genre is talked about as if it was this huge thing but it died before it was really allowed to take of because it was overtaken by the beginnings of the woke zeitgeist in the 2010s who had to fun police the cool parts of it and fill it with messages.
The past 15 years have been loaded with games where you play as "the rebellion" against a vague clone of the british empire, PVP shit, and gachashit.
With the death of concord and suicide squad, and the massive success of helldivers and space marine, it's clear people want something that makes them feel patriotic and unashamed to impose their will on inferiors, rather than stories that are subtle metaphors to shame people for being born white and wanting to defend their civilization against hordes of monsters.
