If I were an executive for corporate SE, I wouldn't hear a word of "this game makes the company a lot of money, therefore ..." from players of either of its MMOs. I'd be more likely to say "OK, how can we fund the next set of mobile games, which are cheaper and faster to produce than an MMO".

Net sales: (FY2022/3 Q1)

MMO 11.6 billion yen
HD Games 25.1 billion yen
Mobile 33 billion yen

Amusement 9.4 billion yen [Actual arcades, mostly]

Publications 7.2 billion yen

Merchandising 2.7 billion yen
