It probably is going down like this:
>2000's devs are pushing cutting edge technology to the absolute limits with weird and interesting games
>Eventually AA dies off and only Hollywood wanna-be AAA is left
>Technology can finally support a giant battle royal game
>Everyone with resources to make a new type of game just plays it safe and copies what's been done already
>Eventually technology becomes so advance that anyone can make whatever game/mod they want out of engines designed for this
>Suddenly theres an influx of new ideas some of which take off so hard they rival AAA
>industry that only knows how to copy is copying them
