The whole industry is so damn obsessed with games as a service. They're all chomping at the bit to exploit consumers.
Yup, seems like the larger the company the more they gravitate to placing fewer and larger bets. After all, why be satisfied with some money when you could attempt to get ALL of the money ?
Except a lot of these bets are lost, and they do not come cheap. We'll see about this one but it looks bound to have the same trajectory as Avengers (which had in fact a pretty decent campaign, followed by a mediocre grindy live service "endgame").
To be fair, every studio is 2 bombs away from bankruptcy, hell MeMeMe games shut down even though they didn't make a single bad game since shadow tactics. Both gacha and live service are constant cashflows that keep a company alive during hard times, just like Final Fantasy XIV kept Square going, and granblue is keeping Cygames going while they invest the surplus on more prestige games.
