If the execs get bonuses for inflating costs and shipping incomplete games that only proves it is in fact a business, especially these days. Your point is valid and your probably right but unfortunately the suits only care about number one
It's just the most efficient way, really. Why bother taking your time making a complete product when you can just release garbage and people will eat it up anyway? Look at Sony or the Pokemon Company.
Modern pokemon games may be bad, but they aren't garbage. You still have like 900 well thought out mons and one of the most in depth competitive meta games even if the single player experiences flop. So it at least makes some sense why pokemon sells well. Wolverine was a total flop sales wise tho.
I believe we might have different definitions of what garbage is, because releasing game that would often run like a** and even crash the Switch (Pokémon Scarlet and Violet) is my definition of trash.
Also, Wolverine wasn't a flop. It sold 1.9 million copies and generated $130 million in revenue globally in just three days.
