Can you really think of any case where someone has said that something was milked and the resulting products turned out to be good?

While Dirge of Cerberus wasn't exactly "rushed"...the feedback on the game so far has been less than stellar from almost all but the most hardcore of FFVII fans who believe that game is the holy grail.
As for FFVII: AC...while it won't win any awards for storytelling or whatnot, I did find it enjoyable. That and we've yet to see how the rest of the projects turn out: they could all end up scoring big, but they could also all end up striking out (or a mixture of both). So...while I don't want to actually use the term 'milking', it is quite obvious that Square-Enix is trying to capitalize on the popularity of the FFVII franchise. But, it's not like they're the first company to try to do that...so as long as the material that comes out is actually competent, I'll be fine with that.
