I think very few franchises manage to actually add on to the world with sequels. Final Fantasy, for example, would practically reinvent itself with every iteration. Not anymore.

But I disagree that this is a recent problem. All Mario games (or most Nintendo games) and Pokemon games have hardly changed from their first appearances. I think that contradicts your statement: "If you are a gamer from 80′s you might remember those days when sequels barely existed and you were always treated with new IPs then and now."

I don't think that was ever the case.

ohh I see but during 80's sequels were not dominating new ips I believe and many of them innovated

You would need give a source for that, or at least back it up with an example. I don't disagree that many of them innovated, (like Zelda 1 & 2 and Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong 2 ) but I can think of many others that were almost exactly the same game.

Will try to explain my point better next time thanks for the suggestion always looking to polish my skills
