To all people who claim COD, Halo, & AC To be milked:

What if fans insist on having more experiences? Would it be wrong for companies to meet the demands of their consumers? Should they neglect their consumers, and put the series on a hault, going against the will of consumers? As long as a franchise stays high in quality and sales, a company has every right to 'milk' a franchise. Producers will be happy, Developers will be happy, and most importantly, fans will be happy. The only people upset are the ones who pose no involvement in the game whatsover.

If there is a demand, then the companies are still milking the franchise.

But I would respect the company and I wouldn't respect the mindless fans.


Why do they have to be mindless. That would depend on if each new installment is worth buying, which is subjective.

If there is a huge dip in quality or far too many games on one system in a short period of time, then yes.

I will buy Assassin's Creed Revelations (or possibly wait for reviews), but the franchise is almost as good as dead to me. Assassins's Creed 2 was amazing, Brotherhood was a huge dip in quality, the story was poor and it was far too similar to Assassin's Creed 2. It didn't feel like a game, it felt like £30 DLC on a disc. Now I find out that another sequel is coming out just one year later? THAT is what I consider milking

...I'll give it ONE more chance. Sadly there are millions of people who will continue to buy sequels regardless, those are the people I don't respect.



Like I said, it's all subjective. I for one loved every AC, except the first, and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one. I wouldn't consider myself to be mindless. It doesn't matter to me if games release every one year or four years. As long as the games are good, then I'll be there.

This isn't directed at you, but I think a lot of people that scoff at annualized releases are forgetting that in past gens, it was quite common for games to release every year. That changed this gen due to high dev costs.
