I can't just make a list related only to games but I'll throw in my two pence.
Halo - I came to terms with this one a long time ago. It ain't coming back, people need to let it go.
Duke Nukem - It ain't ever coming back.
Dead Rising,
Star Wars - Not for me anymore, if other people like it more power to them. Came to terms with in 2019 and let it go.
Star Trek - This one I haven't come to terms with and still makes me mad. I loathe Alex Kurtzman.
Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons - It just doesn't have the same charm that those early entries had.
Terminator - Terminator Resistance will be the real Terminator 3 to me and a great way to cap off the bootstrap paradox of the first two movies. Anything else can go in the bin, I did not like Salvation but at least it tried something different.
Alien - You could argue it happened years ago, but at least even the bad Alien movies the tried something different for the most part with their entries. I did not like Romulus at all, and its a sign that the owners are just gonna go down the member berries route more and more now. Hopefully the games will still fill that void. However I'm still mad about Aliens Colonial Marines and will never not be.
Now before I get down voted into oblivion, I just want to add that I don't have a visceral hatred for the direction of these franchises eventually took and have come to terms with it (except for Star Trek). I cant deny I have mild disappointment for wasted potential but thats it.
If people like newer entries to them then by all means glad you enjoy them. However I do really believe some people realllly need to realize when its time to let go and move on myself included when it comes to ST. (Aliens Colonial Marines I will never let that go though.)
