Personally, I put it down to OWI conforming their games to the general 'style' of games, where FPS' reign prosperous, and with human characters.
Quite frankly, I'd put it down to money. Stranger is supposed to have made a dismal amount (EA were partially to blame), so they wanted to take it one step further. Now their main character loves guns, just like most other main characters.
At least they're trying to fob it off as Oddworld, but that's only probably because of the company name.
However, the games stopped, and hopefully they're heading back to Abe.
