My takeaway is that it’s only original Rogue fans that care about the delineation of the terms. Is there a modern (i.e. post 2000s game) that matches the definition of a roguelike as given in the article?

    Your method makes more sense to me.

    The need to gatekeep a genre which - by now - I reckon has far more entries that don’t match the definition of a traditional/classic rogue-like game just seems unnecessary.

    Giving a qualifier to ‘roguelike’ to delineate the classic versus more flexible/modern style makes more sense.
