I'm assuming that you're just playing dumb with me, seriously. You contradict yourself all the time, your opinions have no consistence or reasonable points whatsoever, you just say what looks better at the time. First you say that DMC is on a creativity dead end, then say that get used to DMC changings (supporting that the games changed, the ONLY real similar games are 3 and 4, 1 and 2 plays with much differences while keeping the basis of the game), then you say that you want the first DMC experience back, "variety is the spice of life" and claims to be a fan of Megaman who is basicaly the exact same thing since the very first Megaman title, even Megaman Zero is "more of the same" for the Megaman franchise, i'm a fan of the Megaman franchise too, played it since X and it's roughly the same thing until the end of Megaman Zero 4, even reusing Zero's moveset in some MMZero games.
1 - Look at the sellings, it's pretty much a failure compared to other games of the franchise. This means the fans had lost their interest in this reboot, most of them have played it with a pirated/rented copy or in a friend's house like me and decided that it was not worth the money at release and probably helping killing the old series at the same time.
2 - No one ever asked for a reboot, literally. I've never seen any DMC fan complaining that DMC was all the "same carbon copy bullshit all the time" before DmC comes out and that became an "argument" for the DmC fans. There's a lot of franchises that keep the same basis since the 90s, as i've already said in another post, and some tried to change and had commit grotesque mistakes, like the Mortal Kombat series who made the best reboot i've ever seen after likely being dead for a plentyful of years, now it's staying faithful to its roots while still bringing new things to the scene, i'm a fan of the Mortal Kombat series since i was a child.
Risk x reward, know that concept? They thought they could keep the old fanbase while drastically changing all the series to make it "more appealing to western people" (?) , they've even said that on interview. And how do you say that DmC has some effort put into it? I mean, a package of glitches, unbalanced combat, simplistic and broken features, poor boss and enemy designs is a thing that you put a lot of work? Even DMC1 released in 2001 is more well designed than DmC, just look at all the concept involving critical hits and how differently you have to tackle each monster in the game, or how the boss fights plays out. Or you're talking about effort because a new story was written? Things need change sometimes, but DMC had barely 4 titles, it was not the case, most cartoon heroes appeared in the 40s, and you're comparing it with a series that has been born in 2001, that's just plain dumb like the majority of things you try to say here on this forum.
Yes, each Megaman game is a whole new experience, variety is the spice of life. I get it. I love Megaman too, but i'm not too worried with this franchise and don't talk about it because here is a DMC forum, you know? If i wanted to talk about how Capcom killed Megaman i would search for a Megaman community, and not try to justify Capcom's retardness with another retardness.
