"There have been too many sequels, and too many established IPs that have been ruling the market. And a lot of them are war games. And they're great projects and great entertainment, but there's a lack of variety today." - Victor Antonov

The reason there are so many sequels is because they sell well. If they didn't sell, we wouldn't see so many! I don't know that the consumer is ready to start giving up on sequels that provide great fun and value.
