It would absolutely be suicidal for the franchise. They're already on thin ice as it is, their last financial report was pretty damning if you get a chance to read it. Their streaming service flopped on itself and it seems like even the scalpers have backed away considering you can buy brand new product at fire sale prices because of how induated they've made the market. That's not even touching the elephant in the room which is 3d printing and that's getting cheaper and more user friendly by the day.
Their core audience is males with a high disposable discretionary income, so if you alienate that you're going out of business. You can't just blue ocean stragety your way out of that, like you will never get women or these progressives to buy $60 models and have them sit down and paint them for hours, and then play an autistic wargame that goes on for at least three hours at the lower point values.
