WERE REMOVING SO MUCH DEAD WEIGHT INVESTORS LOOK WE'RE GOING TO BE SO PROFITABLE AFTER THIS

Reduce the number of studios. The number of sold copies of games stays constant. Therefore, the money going to the remaining studios goes up.

If the cost of purchasing the studio is less than the number of diverted sales, its in your interest to buy up and shut down competition. The only reason this math would change is if people exclusively purchased from the shut-down studios. And we all know why they don't.

As a kicker, you can wring some extra cash out of old properties by turning them into shitty reskinned Pay2Win mobile games covered in the flesh mask of the old IP.

Therefore, the money going to the remaining studios goes up.

LOL

People believe this shit? The money goes directly to some CX or some manegement asshole or chair or board or fucking whatever. What studios? What devs?

Or license it to a third party studio who does a great job, puts out a quality product, then gets bought out and gutted.
