The Death of Adventure Games
Hmm, as popular as ever? I dunno. King's Quest, Myst, 7th Guest, these were the 'Call of Duty's of 80s/90s PC gaming.

They might not be as popular percentage-wise, but what are the sales totals and revenue like compared directly to those titles, I wonder? The total market must be a lot larger than it was back then.

Myst is still one of the biggest sellers (in units total) even today, IIRC it sold 6 million units.

Layton's sold 9.5 million, and Phoenix Wright is not far off with 3.9 million.
