Schema.org CAN have a type for VideoGameSeries, but maybe it is not
necessary.  I know some folks might like it or want it.  But we should
explore reuse of an existing type if we can.  I hate bucket types that
do not bring any additional value. And as Dan stated, we do not want
to go there and have thrown that option out.

The Freebase VideoGameSeries type is ALMOST a bucket type... but
luckily it has 1 property of value that holds the collection of games
in the series:  games_in_series

Finally,

IMHO - Folks beginning to explore categories or types or "how should
we model or do this with Schema.org ?"  should really scan and search
the Freebase Predicate listing before diving into what-if's, since a
lot of work has already been done that closely aligns with Schema.org
