Everyone in the entertainment industry sees this and thinks "that's what I want." Thing is, it was lightning in a bottle. It's been tried a billion times and only worked once. Funnily enough, the same thing happened with Blizzard and WoW: after WoW released, everyone tried to copy it and they all failed hard.
Hell, Disney tried to copy its own success by trying to turn Star Wars into another MCU, and it failed. Remember "a new Star Wars movie EVERY YEAR!!1!"? Yeah, that shit didn't last very long before they shelved it. Old Kenobi movie, Yoda movie, didn't fucking happen.
