why bother with franchise-movie games?

i loved the matrix .... dont get me wrong ... i love sci fi AND fantasy ...

but theres a scary trend lately .. where gaming companies think they can shovel out these sub-par games and make just as much money due to the franchise or movie the game is based on and the fans that come along with that franchise-movie name ....

star wars galaxies ...dungeons and dragons ... the matrix online ... the lord of the rings ( whom people are starting to realize will suck) .. the new star trek is coming out .. and the list goes on and on... i mean come on ...

i for one, after having horrible experiences with these franchise games/betas, plan to boycott all major franchise games ... untill someone starts to get it right ... too many fanboys/girls in these games who instantly subscribe, to give the developing companies any real incentive or drive to put sweat and tears into making a REALLY exceptional game ...

/agreed for the most part.

 Only thing worse is when they make a movie based on a game (d&d). I am currently playing the mxo, not a bad atmosphere, helpful community, but there is just too much grind....
