I rather be dissapointed of the new stuff than seeing the franchice dying. Maybe they make some cool spin-offs for the true fans, like Disney did to Star Wars.

That's how franchises die, in my opinion. They leave a bad taste in the mouth of existing fans, and repel new fans. They can only get by on previously generated inertia for so long. (Star Wars is an outlier here, I suspect.) I'd much, much rather see new IP be created than a bunch of underfunded, financially-motivated people try to recreate magic they didn't create and don't understand in the first place. What often happens is these franchises end up in a sort-of zombie-like state like the faux Dune novels being pumped out by those two hacks who I can't even bother to name anymore.
