...Sounds like the correct term to me.
As for trying to get BW to change this again for DA3, there isn't much hope for it. Due to the 'flashyness' of this version it will likely sell more, and BW would say "Gee, DA2 sold more copies than DAO, we're on the right track!", regardless of how many of DAO's existing fanbase actually liked DA2.
It is more casual, and that appeals more to casual gamers. Said gamers however will likely only spend a few days on DA2 before moving on to another game, caring less about plot and more about defeating innumerable hordes of enemies whenever they feel like it, and drop it again at the first part they feel is boring. 60% of gamers never finished Assassin's Creed, and that number will only go up according to current trends, But if you look at nothing but sales...
Now you're getting to the core of it...BW, believe it or not, is a company based on greed just like any other company. They arent special, they arent exempt from the corruption of corporations. And per betum (proper usuage I hope) what you posted is precisely why they will continue in the franchise's current direction. Again, for those, like myself, who actually like this fresh approach, wont mind so much. But to the so called "hardcore" fans, it's a jagged pill of truth they are having alot of trouble swallowing.
