Of course, there are other issues that led to Nosgoth‘s failure. That game had technical issues and a general lack content, but other games have survived these kinds of problems - or at least lasted longer. The main takeaway is that Vampire: The Masquerade does not need a game that ignores the subterfuge, politics and story of the Kindred world, intentionally or not, especially while it’s still waiting to truly return from its long, torpor-like slumber. That’s the impact fans fear Blood Hunt could have on the video game arm of a franchise that’s still awaiting its formal return with Bloodlines 2. Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have been discouraged from resurrecting the franchise, and the ill-concieved Nosgoth was evidently the final nail in the coffin. What that meant for Legacy of Kain was that the IP was essentially put to rest once again. Nosgoth contained none of the captivating writing, brilliant twists and turns, and fascinating characters that drew players to the franchise in the first place.
