Its a heavily mismanaged franchise thats why. From being handed to dozens of varying devs with conflicting visions to being discarded and forgotten by Universal, Vivendi, Actiblizz and now Microsoft. Its a cursed IP that fluctuates every decade or so. I’m sure new remakes will spawn later this decade or in the 2030s then we’ll be complaining how the next Crash entry killed the artstyle again.
