Late-stage capitalism (specifically public companies) are rather incompatible with singleplayer or "one-off" games that don't have a long revenue tail of a live season or multiple DLCs/expansions. That really sucks for the whole games industry, players and developers alike.

They brought that one upon themselves imo. They were privately owned for 10 years before their IPO in 2018
