Overdependence on the Walking Dead (long after Kirkman ended the actual comic!) is a hell of a drug.

If they abandoned the TWD IP they would've been gone a long time ago. It's the thing thats granted them independence for this long.

"Abandon"=come up with a different plan once something starts to decline in the ratings. AMC doesn't have a transition plan in place and nature will take its course if the ratings continue to decline.

They have bottomed out. They haven't declined. They have transitioned. Into a cost saving continuation of the IP in order to maintain demand. That's why they ended the show and started spin offs. The show has around 5 million followers.

They ended the show at the same place the comic did

The comic didn't have a billion spinoffs and attempted continuations under different names.
