Is the term RPG actually losing all its meaning?

Gaming genres are becoming increasingly messy, and this critique explores why the label RPG has essentially lost its original purpose. While it theoretically describes playing a role, the definition has expanded to include everything from open-world shooters to life sims, rendering the term nearly useless without endless subgenre qualifications. The breakdown highlights how labels like JRPG create confusion by focusing on style rather than geography, ultimately questioning if these rigid categories are stifling rather than helping the way players understand new titles.
