Oh yeah.
If APB failed. Let's create APB:R
If APB:R failed. Let's create APB:R:R

Almost like with communism - if it didn't work it ain't communism.
Honestly APB:R is final straw for APB in my opinion.
Also recreating game from scratch isn't work for months. It took 4 years to build APB and it took budget of MILLIONS dollars and support of big game developer (EA).
Meanwhile LO is small company which probably aquired rights to G1 for pennies (taking in what situation they were), with small crew and defintely VERY limited budget.
Are you even sane?
