It's the end goal but people tend to like devs that aren't dicks about it. The more people you get aboard the hype train the more likely some of those people will spend money. Just doing a Cartman of "Screw you guys, I'm going home..." doesn't seem like someone that was here for the fans or had any real passion for the project.
Speaking of nostalgia I hear Animaniacs is coming back with Pinky and the Brain. But most of the interactions I remember were him promising almost everything under the sun to build up hype then when people started asking when to expect some of these things was the time he started going silent.
What is the old saying "While the cat's away, the mice will play". After Arc was caught with some piracy it was hard to hold the moral high ground. Most of the anti-piracy guys bailed around that time.
That they do. Still Arc is doing okay even with the leaks so it's another prophecy the doomsayers got wrong
But I'm sure someone will give the same old song and dance as "Piracy is bad, Mkay"
