Are you trying to make a point or just trolling? The only thing I can think of is you are trying to make the case that it is the fault of the players and not the studio that the game didn’t survive.
Exactly, you’re willing to accept shitty business practices as long as the game is still “fun”, so why are you at all surprised that management responds to that by doubling down on shitty business practices?
Again, management doesn’t care, they already have the money. They can and will rip the copper out of the walls and bail to the next company, lather rinse repeat. This isn’t exactly a new phenomenon either, people hijacking companies and running them into the ground for massive short-term profits has been going on since before either of us was born.

Because short term profit milking is extremely shortsighted and as is evidenced by LITERALLY the article we are commenting under.
