      Most recently Split Fiction would be an example of not trend chasing

      Unraveled, Fe, the rest of Hazelight’s games, Knockout city

      The Sims and the sports games also aren’t trend chasing

        Sims and sports games are just rehashes.

        Or re-releases.

        And every AAA studio will slowly stop investing into new IPs.
