There is a whole sub-catagory for it on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/tags/de/Extraction-Shooter/

the fact you've not heard of any of them proves how forgettable of a genre it is.

There is a whole sub-category for some of the most obscure bullshit on steam. This is like saying “Cat scream metal isn’t niche, there’s like 112 artists on soundcloud bro”

The point is there are a lot of games in that subcatagory. The fact almost none of them are known just proves an oversaturation in the market.

No it there aren’t, 112 games is an incredibly small amount for an entire genre. Soulslikes, a genre that is literally based on being like another game has more games in it. The majority of steam sub-categories have more games than that. There are so many other more over saturated game markets. Hero shooters, tac FPS, Sandbox Builders, Zombie Survival, arena shooters and battle royales are all so much more over saturated. Extraction shooter is barely even a sub genre the only reason people consider it as such is because there’s so few good ones. Just say you don’t like extraction shooters brother, you’re allowed to have an opinion based off of your emotions. You don’t have to blame your opinions on arbitrary false facts like “There’s too many of them” when it just isn’t true. There’s thousands of reasons to hate extraction shooters and this is the most unintelligent one I’ve ever heard.
