Fighting games are a niche. Riot should've only gone forth with the idea AFTER the MMO was a success. They literally struck gold with Arcane S1. They could've pivoted, somewhat abandoned the sinking ship that is League of Legends (it's been losing players for years now) for something the casual crowd would've loved, and cashed in on the popularity of Arcane.
But no, they close their spin-off studio after what? 5 games? (Ekko's, Heimer's and Ziggs', Nunu's, Pirate one and Sylas')
And then decide to focus on another game that needs a diehard community of tryhards.
