Dev costs rise so turn to free to play. Really does not compute.

Milk the whales. Depend increasingly more on a smaller and smaller subset of super-dedicated players who will shell out thousands of dollars per game. Viable long-term strategy, promise.

In all seriousness, that's the mindset that's really killing the anime industry right now. Put more and more focus on the otaku (so that you can make mad merchandising money), and then the market shrinks behind you.
