Is this an actual “our new games suck and everyone insists on playing the old one so we’re gonna do everything we can to hide it and make you play the shitty ones” situation?

Weird philosophy.

The irony is that by killing the IP with free to play mtx junk, they now need the mtx to survive

That inexpensive and well supported game was this amazing advertisement for this IP empire they built. And then they just killed all of it chasing mtx
