Its not the fans, people who think that are naive, though I wish it were. This is about the cost of money that studios need to borrow to make these games. In the last two years the cost of borrowing money has gone up 450%. That changes the bottom line. At the same time politics from several years ago is presenting itself currently do to the creation cycle of content, in both movies and video games.
The cost of money, relative to the rate of return, will end this. Unfortunately, there are still enough people who believe reviews and will just buy a title or go see a movie and not demand a refund. When money costs were low, that was just part of the business. But now that its expensive, it will be crippling to the bottom line.
And the way things work is, the current game/money release and revenue pays for or is leveraged to, do the next creative thing. This will prevent them from moving forward. You are going to see a lot of things being canceled in the future. Just wont be the funds for them.
