well the reason people like the metal gear series is because of the stealth and interesting story, but the last time konami made their own metal gear game, it was a simple hack and slash game. like you said, the reason behind it is purely monetary. they don't care about their fans. mainstream games are usually good the first or second game released, but after that, they see that people liked it, so it just gets released again with a new skin. just look at Call of Duty, and Battlefield. and sometimes it is the customers fault. for example, The Last of Us was a game with a great story. it had a morally questionable ending, but it was a perfect way to end. now, since people wanted it to continue, Naughty Dog is making a sequel, and it wasn't meant to. i just get worried with things like that. what are some of the game series' that they ruined? one of mine was Diablo.
