Good point. Imagine the whining that would go on if Markus said that he had to raise the price of OOTP to $50 in order to pay Steve his $1.50 a week. Bottom line is that this is a niche market and SI could not justify a continued involvement for the profit they made. Markus and Co. are entitled to focus on areas that may improve profitability however they please.
The online game may affect v9 but if it generates profit, that money can be used to improve the franchise in subsequent versions across the board. I think some people have problems looking at the big picture here.
