Personally I see dancing games as a means to make easy money, and a lot of it too.

Social people (which I think makes up to majority in the world/ or maybe just more noticeable), are more likely to enjoy being around others. Which leads to enjoying activities that includes others, in other words 'dancing'. Being a casual type game, and that the casual population is greater than the "core" population, more are very likely to purchase a dancing game in order to be with other social people (friends/family).

Knowing this companies will want to take advantage of their conscious wants.

these types of games, though they may sell a lot, do not keep the casual consumer interested in the long run. So companies need to find ways to create now ways to attract the same type of consumer into buying the same product with various changes.

If the company feels that they cannot increase or hold similar sales to other dance games, then they would likely not bother creating the game.

Which is probably the case with this game.

I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.

Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.

But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
