Genre stagnated because they decided they can't allow people read, and must have all stuff pre recorded. Pre recorded of course means no way to make proper detailed dialogues, and proper branching story. While quality fan fiction like developers were able to write decent stuff well before deadline, so well before deadline some voluneteer managed even to make grammar checks and make sure there wasn't a typo they missed even after 12 proof readings.Fuckiong STONIGS are what's keeping the genre stagnated.
But of course people started becoming retards and decided that when movies are popular, games which are between books and movies must copy from movies. (games are interactive art based on text and graphic) When movies tried to say show don't tell, they do it because people don't wanna feel dumb when they seen it on screen after hours watching and hear a narrator saying, and now they hanged the most ugly character because he was ugly. When these two assholes would finish their duel, would they remove noose or would they leave him hanging? Viewer wanted to leave if they are assholes or not to interpretation. Narrator would force ONE official view. (Which would be bad.)
Old games tried to create suspension of disbelief. They tried to avoid the idea of putting real world stuff like name of developers or name of real stuff as much as possible. Old games menu looked New game - load game - options - credits - exit. And that was all. These credits were there because developers didn't want theirs names to be in game, and kill suspension of disbelief.
New games are putting names of developers either into intro, or they leave them floating around during first few seconds of gameplay. Then they wonder why bad dungeon crawler has so bad sales even in country of origin.
Old games were able to make decent story, and simultaneously allowed to skip it and read it in journal later, new games have serious writing problems, which is bit scary because writers in old games were amateurs, or people who did it in free time.
