lol lot of profit?
This trash is basically given away for free on other platforms while they beg for money after spending years and hundreds of millions on this garbage. Why would they cancel it? It's trash and a flop like this, and if they would cancel it, it just dead. Probably these servers will be closed eventually, those cost money also, and this sht will not improve. But it wiggles in agony for now, since they spent lot of money on it

It costs too much money to run a flopped game. More than they would gain. If it was really dead it would be cancelled like avengers game

It just came out a couple months ago. Even if you have a bad running game you can`t just shut down the servers after a couple weeks, people paid money to play the game after all. Imagine you sell the game and then immediately be like "Yeah no, not enough play the game, gonna shut it down" that would give very bad publicity.
Considering the current active playerbase it doesn`t seem sustainable, but I guess its the developers choice how long they want to keep the servers up. Probably at least for a year.

THEY HAD 4/5 SEASONS of content almost finished on release, drip feed the players and make some money back on costumes, simple business, if they axe it knowing they had life support and a few bits and bobs for at least a year the share holders would destroy WB

[Sem56]

because its a live service and there are people who bought it expecting an X amount of content

it's far easier for them to just keep things running as they are

this is pretty basic software dev stuff, the team has been wiped out and they will just drip feed the stuff that was already made to try and get any kind of coin off it seeing as they've already spent the money

there'll be a 2 more seasons tops and its done

Because it still rakes in NGO money.

It's to avoid lawsuits. Promises were made to release X amount of content, regardless of the game being an absolute dumpster fire flop that is just continuing to lose them money.

Because game companies have indeed learned that when you advertise your game as a 'live service' model, and you OPENLY advertise content coming out for release, as a method to try to entice players....

....well, suddenly not releasing that content would open them up to lawsuits related to false advertisements and other such areas. They'd rather just continue throwing money into the fire, than risk a big lawsuit that would look even worse on them (Not to mention be a stigma on them that they don't follow through on promises, for future projects).

In this case, reputation is more important than money, and they'd rather burn cash here, than lose their reputation. Which is ironic, because the reputation they got from this game was already horrific...

It's just a lose-lose situation really, with picking the least painful option.
