SpongeBob basically became the face of Paramount's grim reaper tendencies with other Nickelodeon shows, and it reflects badly when he's in a crossover made by a company also notorious for letting most of its IPs rot.
If Paramount wanted to, they could probably strongarm SEGA into cancelling every Like a Dragon, Puyo Puyo, Super Monkey Ball, and Atlus project and make them develop more licensed SpongeBob games.
