Good for them. You can’t have both a studio that’s creating new and innovative games and a studio that plans to endlessly update a single property at the same time. Do we want cool $8 games that are more fun than we $60 games, or do we want bloated studios focused on games as IP for a live service focused development cycle? Because you can’t have both from the same team, and if you get a bloated enough studio to have both going on at once with separate teams you’re probably starting to get toward the size where it’s money people making the decisions.

If we want good games, we need to be centering people making good games, not some weird ever-growing virtual resorts where people order fancy drink dlc. This outlook shows that they have their priorities straight, and I’m hopeful to see what they make next.
