I agree with you, but you have to understand that they are simply making the games that the market is demanding. The fact that there are so many games out there that are more hack and slash than roleplaying says that more people out there want those types of games. In fact, quite a few people who played PS:T found it "boring". Just like in movies, people want more of the "3 Bs": blowups, blood, and breasts. So you and I (along with the other people who mourn the loss of "real" roleplaying games) are pretty much in the minority.
