If a development team gets axed, so does the franchise they created. There are two Diablo games. Four Silent Hill games. Two main series Fallout games. Two spin-offs: Fallout Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel (I fucked up my research last thread). Two Thief games. Two Deus Ex games. Oh, and there will never be another Metal Gear game. Any questions?

Diablo 2 wasn't really a good game. People only thought it was good because there was nothing better on the market.

"Naw man it was just a wet fart that got lucky"

Diablo 2 is still way better than any other ARPG other than Path of Exile. With mods, Diablo 2 is the best in the genre.
>>389392407
Bait.

What about the sequels with entirely new devs that actually end up taking over the franchise identity, for better or worse? I'm looking at Devil May Cry

>Any questions?
Yeah, what's it like being that wrong?
People have to accept that shit changes, and not always for the better. I'm not gonna look it up but I'm sure there are cases where a separate dev picked up a series or franchise and improved greatly on it. I mean, imagine if a competent dev got ahold of the license for Borderlands or Destiny?

>>Nothing like it on the market

Because ARPGs are shit and most people knew this. Barely anyone made them, for good reason.

>best game on the market
>not good
eat a dick
>>389392407
Because there was no comparable loot-based action RPG like Diablo on the PC market or because there was no better PC game on the market?

Except from they literally don't, and not one of the things you said was correct.
You might consider them "not true games of the franchise" (logical fallacy), or not good enough (arguing on emotion and nostalgia), but you are objectively wrong no matter what way you cry about it and get angry.

The original Devil May Cry's good. The rest fucking suck.

I'm not crying. I'm not angry. If you gave a fuck about the industry, you'd agree.
