I don’t think RPGS have dumbed down character creation at all. I think a lot of games out there now as probably more in-depth than they were before, or at least refined to make the process more about you as a role-player rather than just numbers.

To support your point though there has been a shift towards simpler role-playing games that are quicker to get into and play simply because people don’t have the time they used to anymore. It’s much easier to get stuck into something like Savage Worlds than D&D because the process for creating characters is more open and accessible – meaning you game for longer!
