2020 helped. Lockdowns happened right when animal crossing came out

And they essentially abandoned it less than two years after release. (2020/03/20 - last content update/v2.0.0 2021/11/05) Regardless of whether it was dedication to the next version, they still left a shitload of money on the table when they could've added a little content and kept attracting new players.

That’s pretty normal for animal crossing games.

Nintendo generally doesn’t keep adding content for games long after release.
