As a person in the game industry, I can attest that working on original content is much funner than rehashing old material. I'm sure they'd like more opportunity to leave their own creative mark on the series, regardless on how many iterations there have already been. The same could be said about other fantasy games, or any games, or any art in general, that everything's been done before (which is one of the biggest challenges in the art field). That doesn't preclude people from trying to be creative and tell their own story.
