Why are Umbrella (or anyone else for that matter) still developing deadlier viruses?

With a stupid amount of the world's population by the T-Virus or a veriant of it, maybe it's time someone said "okay...you know what? Maybe we should really stop this."

What exactly is the endgame they are hoping for? I'm gonna say it stopped being about money a long time ago because the world is just too screwed up. But yet, they keep going, what's the deal?

play re5, it gets anwsered there.

Because Capcom wouldnt be able to make money off of any other franchise (excluding MH) if they ended the RE series.

Finally, the obvious answer.

The Resident Evil series was created by developers at Capcom who no longer work for Capcom.

its possible they had an idea for the series, but instead Capcom took it in different direction.

The series never seemed to have a grand  scheme anyway. i dont think Capcom's writers are experts. each new game adds another zombie like threat. it not like the series is known for brilliant storytelling.

so i personally never saw it going anywhere. each game adds a new villain related to the zombie threat. the original aim of Umbrellia was simply an evil coperation at work.

that being said, i thought the story of RE4 was actully pretty good. and Code Veronica was pretty good as well i believe.

I have actually played and platted RE5 albeit years ago that might be why I don't have an answer, can you explain please?

I didn't get Umbrella much at all anyway. Like why in the world would people buy something that creates Zombies? I just think that's pretty derpy.

infect your enemies with zombie virus, they will be too busy fighting themselves to focus on you.

Who were their enemies though? And that just made practically the whole world turn into Zombies... so now the world is just bleh.

A Resident Evil game based on a cure would be pretty boring. Chris Redfield sets up a clinic while Jill gives the paitent the cure. Still, it could be better than RE5.
