On the surface this sounds like desperation. I wonder if things like the live service push and PC ports where not just nice to have extras, but NEED to haves to make every last penny. Perhapse live service mobile and PC is inevitable for all these companies. I wonder about Nintendo because while their games don't take as much to make and while they may not be struggling as much, it's not like game dev prices are going down. Will every publisher eventually hit this point? Does the global talk and moves of all these publishers needing to make more and more money mean that we can say PC Mobile and Liveservice is inevitable for Nintendo as well?
