I don't blame publishers or gamers, as I've never had a problem with
sequels.  How can I complain about there being countless Call of Duty
games or Madden games when I bought so many sequels myself?

I have Might and Magic 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, Heroes of Might
and Magic 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, plus Civilization 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
On the consoles, I have Final Fantasy 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 12,
13. and 13-2, plus Disgaea 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, D2.  I won't list all the
Total War games I have, but I have 10 of them, plus 7 Tales of games
and 8 Harvest Moon games.  There's also the 5 Grand Theft Auto games,
plus 4 Borderlands, 4 Thief, 4 Deus Ex, 4 Jedi Knight, 4 Saints Row,
and 4 Europa Universalis games.

Now some of these games I could live without, and there's more than a
few I haven't gotten around to playing yet, but for the most part I
think my video game collection would be much worse off without all
these sequels.
