Why aren't there more Elder Scrolls (Skyrim) clones out on the market?
To make a proper Skyrim clone you would probably need a lot of capital and the games industry is currently (and for the past few years) on the hunt for the "live-service, endless font of money". Indie studios don't have the resources, studios that do are either on said live-service hunt/quick cash or if they aren't driven only by money, then they don't want to copy something successful and want to make something kind of new or what their studio typically makes. It's in this odd goldilocks zone of being too expensive but not profitable enough.

Also the game industry as a whole is retarded. Sony has the rights to Bloodbourne and they could easily have it ported over to PC, not even a remaster, just 60fps, and it would make them fuck tonnes of money. But they would rather it be a dead IP in their back pocket to sit on and do nothing with.
