It's not unusual for the gaming industry to jump on trends from other titles. For example, <em>Breath of the Wild</em> wasn't the first open world game, but it was the first instance in <em>The Legend of Zelda</em> franchise, and several other games that had never been open world started doing so. For me, it's fishing in farming/life sim games. It annoyed me in <em>Stardew Valley</em>, and I got on with it, but now, I feel like every game in this genre has a fishing mini-game. I just want to fish without having to spam a button.
