Its not only limited to video games.
See WotC latest plan:
The Purple Dragon knights. A knightly order of Cormyr, created after killing a black dragon so old its scales faded to a dark purple which was the only connection to dragons they had.
Now, Purple dragon knights are suddenly multiversal do gooders who ride purple dragons. It has nothing to do with what the knights have been for decades and the purple (amethyst) dragons they ride do also not align with their goals.
But it doesn't matter, purple dragon knight must ride purple dragons.
Sammaster, a villain which wad 100% destroyed in D&D 3E, the books and novels making it very clear that there is no way to bring him back. Well, he is back because something, something multiverse.
The new generation if gamers do not know the lore and don't have the attention span to read lore. They want easily digestable slop that does not require them to think and care little about consistency as they forget most of what they pick up anyway.
And the companies, Larian and WotC, deliver.
