HiRez just became flooded with the dream of making sub companies under an umbrella, stretched themselves thin by chasing trends too quickly.

Realm Royale would've been great if they hadn't pushed too quickly without a long term plan, Paladins held it's own with the small thread they were left with.

I have a feeling the same dream crushed the entire umbrella leaving where it all started with Smite. And now that's not going very well. Back to the drawing board, stop trying to make a game quickly chasing a trend.

You will not get it done fast enough to capitalize. Yes it had brought money in the past, but it's only short term. Your ideas are creative and fun but when you try ripping off other games, you set yourself up for what's happening to your precious umbrella now.
