If they completely replace a game with its successor and shut the former down, then people can only play the latter: the developers don't have to compete with themselves, and the publishers have an easier time with their enshittification of their franchise.

The game that kicked off SKG in the first place is an example of this, as far as I've heard The Crew was better received than The Crew 2 and 3.

I mean you can see it even a bit with Payday 3 and 2, if 2 wasn't such a cash cow you can believe a lesser company would've shut that thing down ages ago

It actually was just convenient moment. SKG was started long time ago.
