With regards to making something to reinvigorate brand awareness of Oddworld, something quintology-related would be the best option in my opinion. With the story effectively beginning mid way through the overarching quintology plot, new gamers will feel encouraged to get the previous games to bring them up to speed if they haven't played them. If something separate like Stranger or Fangus is released, it might feel a little disconnected. This is not to say that I would mind either way, though I must admit that I like Abe the most.

That's dead pin point exactly what I think. That's what I've been trying to say, basically.

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:
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.

I know how that seems confusing. I'm not saying that making another Quintology game will "save the franchise". It doesn't need to be save, they're making games. I'm saying that I think the best game for them to make as the first new Oddworld game in a decade would be a Quintology Area game. Tha'ts it.
As for Stranger's Wrath, what I'm saying is that things might've turned out differently if they'd recovered the Quintology by making another Quintology Area game to improve on what Munch's Oddysee is. That's it.
