We need more games, studios, and companies to fail, actually. There's a reason a lot of publishers and studios all stopped working on live service games and cancelling their live service projects. These games failing is the clearest signal of player preferences, because certainly the marketing and product departments at these companies share less than half a necrotized neuron collectively.

If everything somehow manages to succeed even when no one asked for it, then game companies will never care about what you want to play. Because they can just pump out the lowest effort garbage slop and succeed anyways!
