Which is still a profitable venture and requires less design work. Building a whole new system along with a new IP costs alot more than using a system and modifying it slightly. They also have the benefit of using a IP that will draw a crowd to it regardless of quality ( which is sad to say).

I'm not arguing that its the best thing for the players, but honestly in a industry where customers are a number how much does that matter when there are people buying?
