Niether are these two companies in your thread

Shadow Warrior 3 debuted on playstation now, trek to yomi debuted on gamepass, monkey island was on gamepass, deaths door was ps plus, Gris, gungeon, etc.

If their games don’t debut on a sub service they end up on the service within a year. That is heavily reliant on sub services. Their next batch of games, Gunbrella, Anger Foot, Plucky Squire could very well be in negotiations for deals also.

Expectations for Devolver this financial year were $115 million to $120 million, and they've had to go back to $90 million. The majority of that is the delay of big releases into 2024. I think those are decision for the right reasons, although investors won't like it in the short term.

"Also, although their back catalogue is resilient, pricing is down 5%, and that’s hurt their EBITA. And they don't have the big games they need to offset that anymore."

What did y'all expect? When streaming becomes about making money instead of establishing a footprint the bag changes.
