An unfortunately common issue that arises in many companies and games which often leads to their eventual demise or subjects them to self-mockery, reflecting a departure from their former glory.
"The once-beloved gaming studio, known for its innovative titles and passionate community, eventually rosewatered into obscurity after succumbing to forced and unintuitive crossover branding.
