Summary:

• **Big Video Game Series Are Making Prequels Instead of New Stories** - Many popular video game franchises like God of War and Assassin's Creed are making games that happen before the main story instead of continuing forward with new adventures. It's like watching a movie about a superhero's childhood instead of their next big adventure.

• **Companies Think Old Stories Make More Money** - Game companies believe that telling stories about what happened before the main games is safer and will make them more money than creating completely new ideas. However, some people think this means we're getting fewer brand new and exciting game ideas.
