Blame the players :

They believe in the famous : 10 year plan of Anthem , he will probably end up as destiny 2 a month after it's release.

The failures of this kind of games rarely serve as an exemple to the community.

I'm sure that if an "Elder scroll 76" came out next week, the players would rush on.

Blizzard isn't entirely dead, but there is an hope that they might have an shot to cut out the cancer going by the name of Activision. The moment those assholes showed up, we got microtransactions in wow and so on, before that they had an stable fanbase and they were good on their word for most part. 

I agree with @Tex they ruin everything

They ruined it enough for me, so i guess i will buy only older games what are on steam, and slowly move to GOG.
