Why do movies and games do this retarded shit where they start over with the name progression?

Are people just this dumb now that they can't count and need a full reset on series lore?

Hitman 2
Hitman: Absolution

It's a simple way to fuck up search engines to display to the newest title instead of the original.
Simply write "Doom" on Google and see the first hits bring you to the reboot.

To indicate that they're soft rebooting the series and that a new audience can jump in with the new game.

Hitman and The Thing dont' require any knowledge of previous games/movies for the audience to understand.

Sometimes remakes/reboots are ok. And if it helps to make new fans by introducing them to the lore from the very beginning (without having to say, buy a ps2 or play a game with shitty graphics) then I think it's acceptable.
