What's a game mechanic you thought would have taken off, but didn't? (feddit.uk)

I'm replaying SUPERHOT (again) and it's got such a great core mechanic that I can't believe we've not seen more developers use it, or build around it.

What game mechanics seemed like they'd be the next big thing but ....didn't?

I thought about it for a bit, but everything I can think off can be easily explained: They were patented. Namely the nemesis system and loading screen minigames. I would love for a proper (turn-based) RPG using the nemesis system.

Just like loading screen mini games.
