Why should Oddworld have to restrict itself to one genre? Why is having games with different styles of gameplay a bad thing?

Why does the series have to cater to the same target audience all the time?

The answer is it doesn’t. As long as the series’ core of strong storytelling, communication of environmental/anti-corporatism messages, and unique characters and aesthetic style remains intact, it doesn’t have to stick to one thing to be recognized as Oddworld.
Sure, but I can perfectly understand why. I was very young when AO and AE came out and can definitely see why we would be nostalgic. On the other hand, as far as I can see pupbenny is afraid that the changes that started with SW would only push the series further away...

Personally, I dont mind that much the direction SW-Fangus-and whatnot, but I would prefer too a follow-up to MO. Call me a nostalgic as well.
