It's because the game has bare minimum changes annually that they don't really need to sale a lot of copies. Also this is the only WWE main series for two console generations. Even when the competition was in-house, you can see the sibling rivaly between Aki and Yukes. And of course Anchor and Acclaim gave their shots. Now? Like Madden the entire market is bottlenecked for guaranteed sales enough to do it again.

Hate to say it but WWE 2k needs to bomb one year. Bomb hard enough to make them take a year off to make a game from scratch.

If you play online, then you gotta get it every year as soon as the next game drops. How long of a layover do you have before the servers don't support the previous game anyway?

It's lifespan is two games.

So basically WWE2k17 which was released two years ago will have active servers till around the time this game drops. That includes online muitiplayer, user creations, etc.

WWE won't let them. 2K Games tried to do something similar a year or two after they got the license but couldn't because of some terms in the deal. Pretty much are forced to release a game on time each year or risk their WWE license.

Since then, 2K Games became more lazy with their handling of the license and realizing its not worth the effort nor the money to do the drastic changes needed. Also realized why THQ never bothered to drop Yukes since they are a very cheap and reliable developer for pumping out yearly games.
