I think you underestimate how much of a game’s success comes from innate appeal that you can’t simply pivot into with AI boosted workforce, high profile failures like Concord and Highguard didn’t lack production value they lacked the appeal to millions it takes to fuel a live service game of that scale not everyone can be Fortnite and make the switch at the perfect time to hop on a new trend.

i don't know, the writing about concord was pretty clear, "toxic positivity" were the words that stuck out to me to describe its cause of failure according to the people who worked on it, which is a leadership issue. this is a side of being nimble to player feedback.
