The lucasarts/sierra style adventure genre died pre-2000.
Myst style avdneture games have gone on due to publishers embracing of 3d modeling software in lieu of animation.
Yea, there are still fans of it out there - just like there are still fans of disco (good anology Squinky) - but that doesnt mean it's not dead.
Maybe the better question is - Are adventure games commercially dead?
