As matters stand, I think that DHX will keep on cranking out the show as long as there is fan interest to justify Hasbro's investment. That isn't likely to go flat unless DHX start seriously fumbling the ball and there is no sign of that; season 4 had more positives than negatives (IMO there are only two real unequivocal fails in season 4 - It Ain't Easy Being Breezies and Somepony to Watch Over Me; all other problematic episodes have a healthy dose of YMMV).

If Season 5 builds on season 4's successes then the issue won't come up until season 7 at the earliest.

Oh, Ghost? There is no successful company on Earth stupid enough to cut off its' own revenue 'nose' just to spite a certain group of fans. EA can (barely) get away with it because they're close to a monopoly but Hasbro isn't in a similar position of overwhelming strength.
