I'm not completely against splitting /v/ into sub-boards but separating them by genre is really retarded.
If you go to /v/ searching for something interesting and you see a tread on a game you like then you'll probably enter it and discuss it, you weren't searching for this specific thing, You found it by chance. The likeliness of you finding something interesting on a dedicated board is drastically decreased. You're not going to keep checking /vst/ just because you happen to like 1 game that could be considered strategy, and not many people would so the board is going to die despite there being fans of this particular content.
Another thing, splitting the board by genre is kinda dumb because some of them are less popular or have less shit to even be talking about.
Then again who cares, its /v/
