It's still about genres if you want it to be. It's kind of about both now. This is the NWR forums, if you want to derail (or, in this case, rerail) a discussion, it's usually not that hard.

There are arguments to be made either way. At least in games with developer-provided mod tools and SDKs, you could say the game was designed by the developer to allow for those experiences, and therefore they should be included. It raises the question of at what point the game ceases to be made by the developer.
Starcraft 2 is like that.  In fact, there is an entire section for fan made maps and games inside SC2 itself.  It's technically part of the game even though the final product you play wasn't all created directly by the developers.

More and more games are going that route. The Steam Workshop, for example, has opened up a lot of mods to more casual players as well. I'm not entirely in favor of the move, but it does have its merits.

I'm just waiting for someone to use the Steam Workshop functionality in Civ V to do a total conversion to an Alpha Centauri "homage," since EA doesn't seem to want to let them do an official one.

For me it's platformers. That's the genre I like the most.
As for developer, Quest circa 1998? As for living developers it'd either be EAD Tokyo or Monolith.

At first it was platformers for me.  That's what really starting me in gaming and I still love them a bunch.  Then it was adventure games, Zelda/Metroid and I still love the a bunch.  But, now I'll have to be the oddball and say racing.  I love getting into racing games.  If I had to look at my PS3 collection, I'd guess the majority are racing games(obviously having a wheel that works with PS3 and PC is key).  And I always thought Mario Kart was the best game on the Wii.
