>>58399654>Game Freak has been worried about Pokemon being their only source of income.>They actively prioritized...You're wrong but I can explain.
Game Freak isn't "worried" about anything and every higher-up with voting power is drowing in money.
I work in venture capital sphere shit.
Every sizable media company does what Game Freak is doing here.
The reasons publically given for this behaviour (usually "we want to broaden our scope and have more IP or tech") differ from the real, private line of reasoning.
90% of the time, this behaviour is done to siphon a specific investor's money while intentially keeping that specific investor far away from the real cash cow IP that they would taint/ruin.
For example, Big Jappy Cashbucks kind of knows what Pokémon is and wants to make a $200 million investment in Game Freak, but in exchange wants some creative or other say in the future direction of Pokémon.
Game Freak's VERY logical response is to say "let us tell you about this exciting alternate project we have that you can fund."
Happens all the time - they aren't stupid or scared - when a project like Little Town Hero fails spectacularly it 100% isn't on Game Freak's dime.
