    Ash from Pokemon has been the main protagonist for 25 years and people still want him back lol, so I have no idea what this "ten years" nonsense is all about.

    It's code for "I don't like the characters". If it was an edgy white guy like Clive that dated females that were at least 8s, he'd be fine with it.

    Money talks. It doesn't matter how good or bad you think the series is. If it's profitable, it's a success and they will continue to stay on that path as long as the profits are there. Clearly they are doing something right if their franchise is Number 1 the world over. Don't like the direction? Vote with your wallet.
    And Profitability and Popularity aren't indicators of Quality.

    Pokemon fans tried to vote with their wallet, the paste eating consumers made it so Gamefreak doesn't have to put in effort when making their slop.



    The concept of a property being too big to fail exists, and god damn pokemon has hit it.

    Its popular, though. Which means a lot of people either don't consider it a fail or don't consider it enough of a fail to warrant not buying it; enough to make it worth continuing. You just don't share their taste.

    Too big to fail means something is being propped up. Nothing is propping the sales of a product up except people buying it. Unless Gamefreak received some outside intervention I'm not aware of?

    This. I would argue be happy FFXIV doesn't just make expansions riddled with bugs like these because they actually care about their product, but as we see from complaints, most people don't care that they "care" or claim they don't "care". If they truly didn't care, we'd be getting expansions with Scarlet and Violet quality.
