They're making lots of money but the ridiculous load times absolutely cost them money. It's not worth an unlimited amount of dev time to fix, but they definitely should have assigned a dev to spend one day estimating how hard fixes would be.
It's costing them money just in the time wasted by their own internal QAs and devs loading the game to test it.
Arguably, it could actually make them money, since it provides a window of free advertising. I have no data either way, but I wouldn’t assume long load screens are necessarily bad for business.
They don't need more than a full minute of advertising every load.
N=1 but one of the reasons I don't partake in modern gaming is ridiculous loading times and mandatory update sizes.
That's also possible. I haven't played it myself, so I really can't comment.
