"I can't stress enough how often I'd hear a retail rep declare a genre/style/look was dead with zero supporting data."

It's an RPG on a computer? Specifically tabletop, like Dungeons and Dragons or Pathfinder, but on a computer. Example games : Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, The Temple of Elemental Evil, etc.

More recent examples include Dragon Age Origins, BG3, Pillars of Eternity 1/2, Tyranny, and Wasteland 1-3

Listing wasteland 1 is kinda funny since it came out back in 1988.

Right but I thought if I just said 2-3 is get a comment like "Wasteland 1 is a CRPG too!"

Fair enough, but you did specify age and wasteland 2 and 3 are definitely modern CRPGS. While Wasteland 1 while good is anything but modern.
