no... it doesnt, if its a first person shooter... then it is a first person shooter.

These names are literal... how can they not be literal, that is like saying "teenage mutant ninja turtles" is not literal, its not even a word its a description... You cant just magically decide that something means something different than what it means because you dont think its tone meshes with games of similiar type.

But also, you arent taking into account taht... games, books, or anything has different genres applied to them.

Halos primary game genre is FPS

Portals primary is Puzzle Game, with FPS being secondary to that.

Surely I suppose that Destiny is an FPS before it is an MMO, but MMO is still on the list of game...typedness... that it is.

Even if it isnt the main thing it is doing.

Another example I can think of is Silent Hill, which is primarily a survival horror game... but it is also a third person shooter, and a puzzle game... but those are secondary to its primary genre.
