This is the truth people don't want to admit, but Final Fantasy XIV being successful carried square enix through their darkest days when everything wasn't making a profit. Cygames using all the money they got from the granblue gacha to finance an action rpg and a fighting game, etc.

They serve as a safety net, we lost mimimi last year, I don't think anyone would say they made bad games, but they just didn't sell enough so they closed.
