In my humble opinion, you need to accept that this new "Gothic" game is being led by a person or persons who have no love or respect for Gothic, RPGs, or great video games in general.

This is the "New Coke" syndrome (The analogy just occurred to me so I'm not sure if it holds up, lol). When a company develops a new product, not because someone was inspired with a genuinely good idea and had a desire to push the envelope, but because someone looked at some numbers on a piece of paper and decided that he might be able to coax some more dollars his way if he farted out a product consisting of A, B, and C.

By all means, harbor some hope if you want, but I wouldn't expect the tiniest iota of excellence from a studio who delivered a concept like this. Their motivations are clear.
