... what have we done to deserve this, bros?

You simply shouldn't have let EA develop your franchise. It's that easy.

Dead Space 1&2 are solid 8/10s, not masterpieces. What EA did sucks, but it ranks pretty low compared to the thing being done to other franchises.

the devs are working on an Iron Man game

Bet it's gonna be shit.

You forgot crucial details
>first game comes out
>is a surprise hit and sells great for a single player horror game
>EA releases spinoffs, books and animated movies, presenting this new franchise as the next big hit and rival to RE
>sequel gets greenlit
>EA spent 60 millions on marketing (Literally the same amount as it costed to develop the game)
>EA forced devs to add a multiplayer and threatened to cancel the game if devs refused

Dead Space was doomed the moment the first game was released.

This. Never forgot what happened with Alice and American McGee.

Callisto Protocol is much better than the woke remake. Made by the same director who made the first Dead Space (long before woke was even a thing). Callisto Protocol has some of the best visuals of all time (especially on PS5 Pro where it has ray-tracing with 0 compromises at 4K 60FPS). And this is coming from a cross-generation game (where they heavily scaled back polygon counts, textures, lighting and everything else on the previous generation).

Said nobody ever.
