I don't think the very root of these issues are "more" serious. They just continue to showcase the problem with Bandai Namco's direction with Gundam games. They see that they have a popular series brand for Gundam, but they wonder if they can "reboot" it in ways that would allow them to make something more exploitative. Then they carry out the plan without even understanding what fans liked the most about the series brand they are rebooting. It has happened enough times now that I'm convinced eventually they will trash SRW too.
They ruined ACE, they ruined Versus, they ruined Breaker. They suck.
