Idk what thoer license costs are, but i bet it's a little higher than a decade ago.
But... he'd rather make Eggrace? A game thats a carbone copy of ten other games? Ugh.
Also, this little aside is fucking gold:

When the CEO turns a blind eye to how bad the game was. The writing was like children arguing. The gameplay felt like a mobile game rather than a full RPG game.

It's literally Overwatch. Which famously did great. Had there not been an Overwatch, it would've probably done great too.

To me it's frustrating how similar they are.. can't get into rivals. I swear even the voice actors were chosen to sound like overwatch.

So that's why he fired a part of the devs when the game is doing so well, he never wanted it to have a chance
