After all those companies (originally Atari, now Perfect World) are in business to make money. If product doesn't sell they have to close doors. That is what sets how faitful or unfaitful to existing canon they are and how much they rewrite to fit into money making model.

I find that to be a cop out used as an excuse when companies put out a crappy product. Star Trek is still popular, a real quality game would sell, I assure you. Okay, even if they stuck with the combat aspect, they could have made it way better and included exploration, diplomacy etc, they just put a crap product out.
