Aren’t you supposed to do it the other way around
Why would anyone pay for a game that you just abandoned when they used to play it for free when you were actively working on it

I think it’s their way to get rid of it. No earnings, just expenses, only 200 dedicated people online on average with high entry barrier for new players - so they won’t be able to fix it in any way even if they wanted to.
Microsoft probably doesn’t see any sense in keeping it online so they want to strangle out active user count to single digits and shut it down.
Besides, I don’t know if anyone in Beth/Id directly responsible for it is even employed anymore. Quite possibly none.
