I've already said that Stranger DIDN'T kill the franchise. I was saying that if OWI had recovered from Munch then things might have gone differently.

And I'm not saying that no one will buy anything unless they go back to the quintology. I've already said, in agreeing to V_O_T that I would buy anything they make. I'd just like them to get the Quintology, or atleast that area, opened up again.

Read what I'm saying more carefully please.
Almost every post you’ve made on the subject has implied that, had they made another Quintology game everything would have been okay; that because they made Stranger instead of another Abe game everybody abandoned them.

That’s what your posts are saying, even if you refuse to admit that. Look:
:
Let's be fair, Stranger's Wrath was new and that practically killed off the Oddworld series for a decade. I'm not saying Stranger's Wrath was the cause of Oddworld being killed off. But after the unsuccess of Munch's Oddysee they shouldn't have made a 'new' game, they should've recovered by making another Abe Oddworld game.
:
Stranger's Wrath didn't really get Oddworld back on a good track, becasue it left the Quintology, which is what people wanted to see, especially after Munch's Oddysee.
:
Then Munch made alot of people dissapointed, so I tihnk OWI should have made another game in that area to kind of recover what Munch done.
What all of this means is you think that another Quintology game would have saved the franchise, but what is actually the case is that Stranger was poorly marketed by EA and that resulted in a huge loss for OWI. It didn’t matter whether they made a good game or not, they were screwed over.

You have no way of showing that fans wanted another Quintology game to the extent that they refused to buy Stranger’s Wrath. It is an unsubstantiated claim that you have made up to support your opinion that they should make more Quintology games first.
