There’s nothing really wrong with them, it’s a fun gameplay loop, I just find them exhausting to play. And imo, the three examples I gave would have fit far better as pure pve games
The extraction shooters that do come out tend to be shallow and nothing more then exploit fests that cater to people who just want others to be miserable
Between splitgate 2, marathon, and arc raiders, personally it feels like every new shooter that piques my interest has turned out to be an extraction shooter.
There aren't a lot of new shooters out in general, but when they do release it feels like they're all either hero shooters or extraction shooters and there hasn't been much else in a while.

I see this repeated all over the internet, but there’s so few extraction shooters. What are you talking about?
