I think this makes a nice sound bite, but I don't think it holds water. I especially don't think it holds water since it's been a common complaint for 2 years and I don't think our community has been shrinking for 2 years.
Ok just taking a look at the first page of games we have the following games:
Hannibal Cannibals
Charmed Ones
Life Contingencies (2x)
Marvel Universe
Cops and Robbers
Spawn III
Highlander
Labyrinth
Political Lupus
Werewolf Draft
10 different games. I would guess that you would find the same combination of complex/simple in that 10 as you would in just about any sampling of 10 random games starting any time after WW IV. In fact, I would argue that the 10 games from WW IV to WW XIV have far more complexity than the 10 I listed above.
