Exactly this; for a video game developer to claim otherwise is incomprehensible, and likely is just doublespeak to mask something

Or they’re morons who are only familiar with the Games As Service model and completely forgot that’s not the only type of game they sell.

Right? Like there are 48 Assasins Creed games, sequels are their bread and butter.
