Genres are definitions of attributes by which you can group things. Genres help us understand what we like and what we don't by providing a common reference.

A game is like a recipe, it needs combinations of spices to liven it up, but they still have their basic elements. Casual gamers often make mistakes while buying games, because they don't understand genres.

Good games are not chosen because they belong to unfamiliar genres. Some games are not bought because the customer is prejudiced towards the genre.


For instance not all RPG games are exhausting and slow, and not every Flight Sim requires extensive amounts of manual reading and key memorization.

It's an affliction, a genetic habit, an inbred instinct of humans to classify objects into categories
