If the film industry won’t learn that lesson, then the gaming industry certainly won’t.
IP rot will continue until it’s no longer profitable.
Stop pre ordering games and watching every milked franchise sequel.
That's easier said and done with movies and tv where the enjoyment isn't dependent on player base. For multiplayer games at a certain point you have often have to move to the newer versions.
It is not as if people keep rewatching the same old movies twenty times a week. The problem with gaming is that some players seem incapable of even considering trying something new that isn't part of the same series.
Yes they do, I've rewatched seasons 2-9 of the Simpsons about 25+ times, I've watched it's always sunny a similar amount, my dad has seen the movie Independence day about 300 times. Both of us play the same sport, which we've played most of our lives.
