Which will be the next video game genre to die, do you think?

Horror games already "died" after 2000 when publishers suddenly decided that the genre wasn't popular and so stopped making them. If anything, it is far more likely to stay alive now that people know there is still an audience for them.

MMOs are going to die, assuming they haven't already, simply because they just can't stop copying WOW. MOBAs are likely next on the chopping block, just because the Overwatch/Paladins/several others are attracting more players' attention and because no MOBAs past League and DotA have ever survived.

I never played moba's. Do I have a mistaken impression that they are essentially endgame mmorpg's minus the rpg plus rts lineage?

Kind of. They're sort of like MMO PvP, but with the "levels" just being in-game progress and getting reset back to Lv.1 each match. So there is no grinding for gear and levels, and everyone starts on roughly equal footing at the beginning.

IYO is the Rogue genre alive?

There's no way horror will die before shit like rhythm and fighting games do. And even then, I doubt genres will ever die for real from now on - They will die for a while and then get resurrected. It's what happened to FGs

Since shmups aren't truly dead just in a position that they can't grow in the same scale as other genres and just stayed small.

horror games have been on the rise since the boom of Amnesia: The Dark Descent and it's subsequent clones like Outlast
The fuck are you talking about?

This. Both genres just don't makes always sense on the large scale that is the AAA market. We also get a new Ace Combat and got a fairly big pile of shit that is Star Fox Zero.

I don't think any genre can really die, since there's always a niche market for them (except for maybe point and click adventures but even I'm not so sure since there were those recent kings quest games)

Space sims had a long death after Freespace bombed in sales. Thankfully they seem to be on the upturn these days.
