Why aren't there more vampire games?

I don't think there's any kind of anti-vampire agenda. I just think vampires aren't cool anymore. I think the last time vampires were kind of cool was when the Blade movies were popular and that was a long time ago.
Maybe a modern AAA vampire game released during the time of the popularity of Buffy the Vampire Slayer would've done well? Assuming the pure fantasy scenario of modern tech being available back then, of course.
Although, when you think about it, it wouldn't make sense to make a vampire game because there's two issues with vampires:
1) Sunlight intolerance. The vampire cannot come out during the day.
2) The need of the blood of others for sustenance. You constantly need to hunt people or you drain away.
People play games to feel empowered whereas the core defining traits of vampires are weaknesses, not strengths. Who would want to play a game as a vampire and why?
I suppose the stealth and survival horror genres do well despite putting the player in a position of weakness so perhaps a vampire game could succeed but why would that be the case? What experience could a vampire game offer? Please keep in mind that, as I've stated, mainstream culture is no longer in a position such that vampires are cool and so you gain no points for merely making use of the aesthetic.

I want me a Platinum Bloodrayne. I don't think any big shots own it right now so in some way could be plausible.

Did you miss that little thing called "Twilight" which gave vampires the Harry Potter treatment?

This guy understands. Doubt they will pick up that license though.

Probably too close since they're busy with Bayo, yeah. I wonder if like some Capcom minor studio could manage to ape the style. Mainly thinking of how Double Helix came out of the blue with STRIDER, though.

I'd be fine with them becoming like the Troma of video games.

I also look forward to THQ Nordic buying up the Bloodrayne license.

Strider remake kicked ass.

You have a point.
I do doubt the willingness of the Twilight demographic to purchase vampire videogames though.
In any case, I am thankful for this thread for introducing me to the BloodRayne games. On one hand, I don't think I ever knew they existed although on another, I think I vaguely recall seeing advertisements for them in my PCGamer magazines from way back when. I'm watching a Longplay and it seems somewhat interesting.

Skyrim kind of counts. With Dawnguard and mods, that is.

Just don't watch the Uwe Boll movie. The actress who played Bloodrayne is creepily obsessed with Boll if you watch the behind the scenes bonus

Invidious embed. Click thumbnail to play. But just last year we had a vampire game from an AA studio, and this year we are, sadly, getting Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2
