I guess in this day and age, publishers are less likely to get away with crap like this; to buy an IP just to slap its name on an unrelated product. Complaints can snowball in the Internet age.

Just my opinion, but I think the new FPS is delayed because they are waiting for the Fraxis game to finish. Then they would just use the art assets from that game and import it into the FPS. This way they can genuinely claim the shooter is an X-com game.
The main problem with the XCOM FPS...is that the only people who even remembered the Xcom brand were mostly die hard Xcommmies who wouldn't be pleased with just having the name slapped onto something.
