Then people wonder why nothing new has come to replace the +50 year old franchises. This whole century is an exercise in monetizing nostalgia; it’s what the lengthening of IP protections paved the way for, and it is sort of stagnating popular culture.
To be fair, Mass Effect 5 wasn’t exactly going to be an experimental original thing either.
Yeah. Pragmata was a pretty cool original IP that came out recently. But it’s seen as a risk to be original now
Dont look to big corporations for new and unique experiences. That’s pretty much the opposite of what they do. They make money off of nostalgia for the most part.
