That's not necessarily a good thing :/

how is enjoying mario games no matter what a bad thing

how is someone liking something that doesn't have any actual negative effect to anything ever a bad thing

i don't even

It's kind of bad to get so into a series that you're blinded to its flaws and you're not venturing out into better things. That's a waste of time and money. You should be able to make better, more objective decisions...

It's not nice for the industry either when people get so stuck on series that they're familiar with that they just stick with it and then cult hits like Okami don't make any money. Both the developers and the players miss out, and then the industry just sticks to making crappy safe games because it's the easiest way to make money. There ought to be standards for quality.

Sonic used to be my favorite series, but I jumped ship after I hated multiple games in a row. I didn't stick with it even if I loved it in my childhood, and I sure don't care about series loyalty. I just want good games. I was better off for it, too, because instead of playing Shadow the Hedgehog I was using my time to play better games and find new series.

It's important to be able to make good judgments in general. I think your ability to make good judgments in all facets of life is interconnected, so you should avoid biases wherever possible. Sticking with what's familiar with you for the sole reason that you liked it before, whether it's good now or not, is not having good judgment.
