They were. Sony kicked it off in 2018, Microsoft revealed their hand in 2020 (and arguably were doing it even before Sony), and while Steam was a slow slide, they started getting notably bad around late 2021 and 2022.

Nintendo started in 2023. Half a decade at best. He might have been able to get 7Even out and a couple spinoffs before Nintendo shut him down.

Developers like him are likely going to need hard reassurance that they won't get screwed over like this again before they'll ever commit to something like Senran Kagura again.
