A reboot of a system is good beyond the 5 year mark. Ideally it might be 8-10 but the overhaul of a game is tricky to run with. White Wolf had some good work on their WoD and the tweaks were done piecemeal to the overall game universe which had no balance interacting with each other. D&D has been a longstanding part of rpgs that its been in quite a few directions. Battletech has had general small change in all of its lifespan in contrast to GW. Games like L5R and 7th Sea got serious work in their reboots so there can be some success stories outside of company woes.

One and done seem to be the best course of action unless game development see that their brain baby is healthy and running without their help.

On a separate note I am looking forward to the second Spaceballs movie (if there is any rebooting) and the second installment of the anime series Gate. How can you not love the premise of what happens when a magical kingdom assaults modern Japan and the FAFO doctrine ensues?
