They could make a couple fun games before thinking about milking their audience dry.
Or making a game targeted at the known target audience instead of pandering to one that doesn't exist and ignoring the known audience.
Crazy stuff here.
I mean prior you this we also heard that tech companies tend to continuously get in the way of the development process and slow everything down then setting unreasonable deadlines.
