I'm pretty sure EA and Activision-Blizzard have similar or bigger budgets for their AAA games and they either make shit or microtransactions-filled games.
2K is huge and they always make NBA2K decent/good but full of terrible microtransactions
Nintendo is huge and look at Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Reportedly, Wizards of the coast made around 1.3billion in revenue, while EA made around 7billion, and Activision-Blizzard made around 1.5billion.
I'm no financial expert so maybe I'm mistaken in some figure, but the bottom line is WotC is not the only big (and growing) company, so this are nothing but excuses.
What is this video you are talking about?
