And while I generally like them for that, I do feel it does hinder Animal Crossing a bit.

Animal Crossing would be perfect for GaaS. I would have spent an embarrassing amount of money if I could subscribe to regular new items, new villagers, new NPCs, new events, new dialogue, new buildings, new locations, new features, etc. I would happily be Nintendo's whale.

Animal crossing did do GaaS though and they shut it down and released an offline version.

Pocket Camp lasted 7 yrs before it shut down though, so I’d argue it just ran its course. Also it was a mobile game lacking a large chunk of what makes Animal Crossing what it is.
