If you’re 1-2 bad games away from going bust then perhaps make better games.

Isn’t the premise of capitalism, that if you fail then someone better will take over you. Let them fail.

someone better

Someone who can milk their playerbase better. Lootboxes and other "surprise mechanics" (addictive gambling), battle passes, games as a service

No. I mean someone with ethics and morals and just wants to sell something for a single price and be done.

There’s a reason Minecraft and Factorio get a lot of love. It’s because you pay once and you’re done. Yet they still make new things. Although Mojang is going that way.
