Avolyte's failure has more to do with their inability to think small. If you want to make a product meant to cater to a smaller customer base it can work if you adapt you budget to something small enough to expect that many customers.
So if they went into that project going "ok we're gonna shit on the IP, ignore everything in the existing universe's history, and we plan to alienate the fantasy. Make a solid story catering to fat trans lesbian trisexual furries but keep it under 100 million in budget." They would have been fine.
