Have developers ever figured it's not because of the brand name, but because the games are underwhelming?

Infact JJ2 isn't even that good as a game alone, official contentwise (well, it's not bad either, just mediocre..meanwhile, TSF and CC99/HH98 are bad). Many of the fans are simply nostalgic and getting more people into the game is difficult, which tells something. Plus does make it better, but unofficially supported mods aren't going to draw people in.

It probably doesn't help it was released when 2D games were coming out of fashion either, though.

I think JJ is a franchise with unlocked potential. JJA was a downgrade (even looking past the FIXX0RZ stuff).
