    We don’t talk about anything past the initial trilogy. They were bastardizations that used the IP but fundamentally changed the gameplay. The Skylander games were the worst about this, as they heavily leaned on the Spyro brand but had very little in common with what Spyro fans wanted.

    Everything after the initial trilogy was akin to making the next Civilization game a Dynasty Warriors style hack-n-slash game instead. Even if it had the Civ branding, it wouldn’t be a good Civ game. And most fans of the series wouldn’t consider it to be a “true” Civ 8, because it would be a drastic departure from what made the series iconic.
