This is a question that has routinely drawn a "no" answer since 22 years ago.

AAA third parties won't be happy though.

Nothing lasts forever. 22 years or 44 years, its inevitable if its not meant to be.

Also why would AAA third parties not be happy? Less hardware to developed on sounds like a positive.
