Many years ago when this site began broadening it's focus from MMORPGs to games in increasingly outside of it's core including even single player titles I jokingly said it was only a matter of time before they started covering sports games like Madden because, you know, they had 22 "players" on the field.
With the recent news story regarding the leaked EA FIFA internal document we've finally reached the bottom of the slippery slope.
As was once first said almost 2000 years ago

Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.- FARGIN_WAR

now I have become destroyer of worlds....
I mean they already sold out and couldn't care less about the integrity of the games. They went from banning people to selling it themselves. I wouldn't be surprised to see them sell bot programs or cheats or well anything at this point.
We already crossed the point of no return and it's all about monetization over merit, greed over gameplay, convenience over community, and turning players into payers.

SOE was constantly looking for every possible way to squeeze money from its playerbase....Their greed was a big reason why I gave up on their games.

All dev studios pay attention to the marketplace.They see all these SIMPLE low budget games making loads of money so they begin to realize that spending loads of time and money on a very expensive mmorpg is way too risky and doesn't amount to bigger profits.
Wow fooled a LOT of devs thinking that if they could garner even 5% of what Wow was making they would be swimming in money.
If you are not a giant studio with loads of marketing/influencers/streamers hyping up your product you have to be be BETTER,a LOT better and that formula does not work for smaller studios.
So we are in a VERY long duldrum of studios aiming for EASIER markets,low budget games,mobile games,BR's,Early access and outright SCAMS.
So it is only the big studios that have the money and size to target ALL the genres that will deliver some sort of mmorpg to us.There is simply no incentive for the otehrs to risk making a mmorpg.
