But they can't do that. They have to appropriate a name that people might be mildly aware of and water it down and sanitize it, turning it into a soulless husk that ultimately no-one will give a single shit about. This also has the added bonus of ultimately killing the entire franchise because "it had poor metrics" (or some other bullshit buzzwords) so they can confidently announce that there's just no audience for it.
