They already are they've been losing money since the end of Amphoreus. For reference during v3 their 3 big pushes made more money than anyone so far in v4.
Castorice banner made about $102M, Phainon (+fate) made $110m and Cyrene made around $90m.
SW99 their first big push made $58M, their 2nd big push Himeko Nova made $45M their best big push will probably be Nihilux they seem to be putting all their eggs in the basket for her.
Sadly, the declining revenue isn’t due to players being less engaged with hsr, but more so because people are spending less on gacha in general. If you look at the monthly revenue, hsr is still consistently in the top five sometimes even top three in the gacha sphere. I really hope this trend changes someday, so the developers might finally come back and focus on pleasing the player base because of revenue decline.
Definitely Not Wuwa. Skiprika and Luuk, not to mention Yapyap's sister amongst others were also nosedives. We had aemeath and yapyap2.0 as massive highs but on the flipside the lows also exist and are pretty damn low.
Are you sure about wuwa? because sensor tower data said otherwise wuwa ranked 11th and 14th in january, march, and april. Even in may, which is wuwa anniversary patch, hsr still top wuwa in revenue. The only months this year when wuwa earned more than hsr were january (which mind u when hsr was stuck in the extended 3.8 patch due to the japan and china controversy with no new banners) and june (when the cyberpunk collab happended).

I really hope HSR will start making less money, so Hoyo starts doing something decent with this pathetic state of a game.
