I think there are a lot of gamers (outside of us) that if they didn't like the traditional RPG from the old school days, they won't like it now and companies develop off of that. They don't have the drive or the time to dedicate to playing any game more than 15 hours long without a multiplayer aspect. It's run and gun for most people because it's more of an adrenaline rush. It excites them.

I prefer Japanese RPGs. They've been doing it right since the NES, and continue to do so.
