whats your favorite long running and active media franchise? - The Lemmy Club

it can be books,video games,Movies,TV Shows, etc(though i will be focusing mainly on Video Games) i wanted to ask long running/active since it would be more interesting. i would love to hear your answers! ::: spoiler my attempt at the rules defining Active and Long Running am also not sure the definition of long running/active. maybe the last game(dlcs,updates and unreleased games dont count) should be from 1-3 years ago(or makes video games atleast every 1-3 years as of 2026), and the franchise should have first existed from atleast 2004-2006 or older i think. it can also be that it says online that its still present ::: ::: spoiler My list so let me start: franchise dates as of March 10,2026(if i dont say present it does not mean the franchise is dead) Video games: - Touhou Project(1997-2025): I love Touhou 18,good fanbase/fan content(for the most part atleast),good OST. the bad thing tbh it used GenAI (its not as bad as it sounds though) its franchise/video games are pretty Niche but good. currently taking a hiatus (under the end of march/early April) but i will be back so am still including it here. - DOOM(1993-2025): well you guys know this DOOM 1 from 1993 and DOOM II are pretty good but i prefer this open source version called FreeDOOM.(and put some TC mods on top of FreeDOOM) the bad thing is the company behind it(Bethesda then Microsoft) - Asphalt(2004-2023): has been a while since i played any of its games like DOOM bad company good game and thats what i remember ::: (i apologize if i posted this 3 times,my client glitched out )
