The question is, will this actually benefit the Heroes series?

The old guard of fans from Heroes 1-4 doesn't seem to care much, as already mentioned. Based on such a popular brand, they could develop something that has little in common with the "classics." Rumors have surfaced online that the 6th installment will be developed not by Nival and will be a real-time strategy game (like Warcraft). You understand, this is no longer Heroes as such. But I repeat, these are just rumors.

And besides, there's Windows Solitaire and Minesweeper for casual gamers – let them play that.

This is for office workers. But casual gamers still play real games.
