>Gamers are tired of copy and paste money grabs, full of bugs on launch and overhyped to the moon. If this was actually true, the companies you mentioned wouldn't be selling a ton of games and gambling gimmicks didn't need to get banned for companies to stop putting them in their games. In reality, successful companies are better off iterating on their existing games and systems a few times until the sales die down, then maybe release a few later for nostalgia and move on. It's much less effort, less risky, and it plays better into the expectations most people have. This has been going on for well over a decade. It's not like people haven't had the chance to see the trends yet.
