I think we’ve seen this with films as well; everything’s a remake, a sequel, or at best based on an already successful property from another medium. I’ve always assumed it’s a risk thing; as the budgets and visual expectations for games and films have skyrocketed, risk aversion has increased (if you’re spending a few hundred million, it MUST sell) and the victim is design for games, and storytelling for both.
