It's a new year, and time for a new poll. This extends narpet's concept of the Bottom Ten but is a little more off the beaten track.
Which genre has produced the worst examples of games cashing in on a successful example in the field? That is, which one has the most bad games inspired by the rightful founding fathers of the genre? Is it the dreaded attack of the diablo clones or the dreary nine millionth WWII shooter? Those annoying MMO WoW wannabes or the poorly designed and brutal RTS games that wipe you out in the first hour?
(Note this is not about which is the worst genre--but about which genre has the worst clones of it's games.)
Feel free to give the reasons for your choice, or to add any annoying examples I've overlooked.
Edit: @Mike--Sorry about no 'all of the above' choice--I hate it when polls do that--no excuse except it was really late at night
