IDW have released their financials for the final quarter of 2021 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2022/01/20/idw-media-holdings-fourth-quarter-and-full-fiscal-year-2021-results-released-448757), and their full year results... both of which improved on the previous year, just in time for them to lose their two biggest licenses/titles... so, it might end up getting worse from next year, but if they are no longer producing Transformers comics, we won't need to know or follow it.
