Royalties died because of Blast and the PFP market.
Looking back, the critics were right; it became a race to strip-mine momentum and hollow out the scene.
OS actively undermined the vertical they aimed to grow by trying to compete with the dead-eyed mercenaries.
It's good that this is being revisited as a competitive advantage.
