What's up with this trend of the newest entry in a franchise just being given the title of the franchise with no numbers or subtitles? It just indicates pure laziness and makes it confusing cause people will normally have add the year it was released anyway when referring to it in the future.

Is there no end to this? How far will it go? Will the next Final Fantasy game just be "Final Fantasy"? What other franchises will fall to this trend?

They don't want to alienate the newer and younger audiences that they're designing the new games for.

Also,

Publishers want you to buy into a Franchise, so the actual game number doesn't matter.

They're working this brainwashing now, so when they only rent games in the future, you'll care less.

>Want the new AAA game? Sorry, you need to subscribe to EAsoft for only $50 a month.

Also, again,

Many business leaders are simply butt-blasted with all the success Apple has had over the past 10 years or so.

So when Apple stops numbering iPads, their circle-jerking fans respond by doing the same thing with what ever industry they're in.

It probably brings more sales

To make people forget that they could already play a similar but superior game for a way cheaper price.
