Welcome to the age of the media. There is a new book/movie/game. It does great in the public and sells out in many locations. In fact, it becomes so popular that the developes think they can make infinite sequels and just keep milkin' and milkin' the franchise for more and more cash. So, they make a sequel. It is by far inferior to the original, but the love crazed fans desparate for more of their favorite characters, and so on simply can't live without it. Everyone is talking about how great it is. But, the developers/authors realize they spent more money on making the new content than they can make by selling it. So, they make the game a freemium. If it's a movie or a book, it is divided into multiple parts. (The Hobbit is an example) After the players/readers have paid too much, they complain. Realizing the book/movie/game is running out of steam, the developers make another sequel, and after several months, crazed fans become desparate once more, and the cycle continues until it all gets too expensive.

Meanwhile, the original (Like Garden Warfare) is lost and forgotten forever.
