Although it’s cynical to suggest, more and more these titles are starting to feel like short-term cash injections. Drop the game, build a meager community, milk the cash, hit the off switch. Occasionally, one gets full, long-term support — anHonor of Kingsor aFire Emblem Heroes— but, for the most part, all these titles seem to achieve is the investment of a small but dedicated community, before pulling the rug out from under them at a moment’s notice.
