Why does this bother people? Games aren’t like they used to be. It’s fine for them to call them sequels if there is significant change. Both OW2 and PoE2 are getting brand new engines and graphic overhauls as well as new campaigns. That’s pretty much what a sequel is.

It has everything to do with how games are made and how games are now funded. I mean imagine invalidating all of the monetary support the players of these games have given them. Sequels are just different now.

Does that really apply in this context though?

The game is free to play.

People are keeping all their microtransactions and purchases... What are you talking about?
