I buy a new NFL/NCAA football every 3 or 4 years, I'm with you on this. Sequels *aren't* a bad thing; more of the same, only slightly better, is good too, as long as it was good in the first place, and as long as you're also working on different things. Final Fantasy 25 may be just as good as Spore, if it's done well. We need the sequels too, not just the visionaries.

We just need them not to suck.

I'm looking at you, Lara Croft.
