>Any new Simpsons game would still be based on the good seasons because they know people would only get the references if they used the old material that's actually popular
One of the newer Treehouse of Horror segments is basically that. It's full of a bunch of references to old episodes but not just for the sake of reference. It's basically a commentary on how the Simpsons is stuck in the shadow of it's past self. Lisa even references that thing everything says about how "the Simpsons hasn't been good since season _______":
