It’s more amusing to watch people make clowns of themselves, to be perfectly honest.

They actually reduced their loses considering the catastrophe Marvel’s Avengers was.

No, I’m saying quarterly reports are for investors. They only care about money. Nothing in those reports indicates either game’s success or if they are gonna shut down. People try to use quarterly reports to mean whatever axe they have to grind.
Well, it’s more that OP distorted what was reported in the financials. Net profit is not a loss.
It’s more to get a feel for how the game is doing. Like for WoW, fewer players yet revenues are slightly higher would be the typical narrative. And the financials appear to support that. It’s difficult with WoW because Blizz has changed reporting to make that players use (like subscriptions) less transparent. With FFXIV, it’s even more difficult. lol
It’s just, that even though they show record profits for WoW, they also cut it’s budget and other games across Activision-Blizzard and laid people off. So there is no indication that it does anything for the game itself. It does line their pockets at the top rung though.
It’s interesting statistics, but it only tells us if they are getting richer.
