EA kills Dead Space after a turn to co-op action schlock guest-starring microtransactions fails to result in bazillions of sales

Years later, some former devs announce a spiritual successor. After initial fan hype gets dinged by ongoing negative press for the in-development Callisto Protocol, EA suddenly announces a Dead Space 1 remake, deflating Callisto Protocol's hype even more- who needs a spiritual successor when the original is back?

Callisto Protocol finally comes out. It runs like shit on PC, the story sucks and people hate the gameplay. It fails to sell enough to justify a sequel

The Dead Space remake comes out and by all accounts is a success. The disappointment of Callisto Protocol is quickly forgotten and people are excited for the future- DS2 remake next?

EA decides the remake didn't sell enough and the devs are shuffled off to make more Battlefield or whatever

A year or two ago it seemed like we were in the middle of a huge survival horror resurgence but I'm not sure if any bigger franchise outside of Resident Evil has actually seen any kind of tangible success. The Alone in the Dark remake crashed and burned this year and took down its developer with it. I'm interested to see how the Silent Hill 2 remake does
