    I mean, I won’t agree with whatever reason they have anyways, but it feels like they could have followed that up with a second part and that could have been their cash cow (due to lower development cost and higher attention from journalists).

    Feels to me like they’re optimizing for short-term shareholder payouts, due to the two major flops they had last year, and sacrificing long-term profitability for it.
