Diablo Immortal made a depressing amount of money.

Us sweats mean nothing when there's a billion dollars on the table for them.

And this isn't even a edgecase. Even Bethesda/Nintendo saw their mobile games print money more than their regular games. Fortunately they have souls and think about their core audience.

This is the thing I don't get. Long-Term they will make way more money if their mobile games are good otherwise they get a reputation for putting out crap and overall less interest the next time around. The best long-term strategy would be to put in effort, especially when the return is so good.
