The anger doesn't stem from what's popular in itself, it's undeserved success and popularity from a clear lack of effort, creativity, or originality. Gamers feel like this sends the developers and shareholders a message that cheap, unoriginal games are what we want and they'll make more generic yearly soccer/shooter games instead of trying new ideas to expand the medium.

Sums up my thoughts almost exactly.  I have no interest in ANY yearly franchises that are clearly just commercial cash cows. No developer can have enough fresh ideas to keep a franchise innovative on a yearly basis.
