defining a genre in a way of there being some gotcha that disqualifies something from "counting" is an incredibly reductive way to approach media
no matter your opinion on, say, fallout 4's reduced and simplified rpg systems, the game isn't disqualified from the RPGs it's in legacy with just because it has shooting
and i could go ON about fucking roguelikes and how meaningless the term "roguelite" is and how people just use it to mean "thing clearly in legacy with the same genre but i don't like it so it doesn't count"
