Dragonball was designed to have an ending. The merch like the toys/videogames can go on forever of course, that's what happened from 1996-2013 before the series was revived.
I agree with you but I guess 2013 onwards you can call it milking the cow, and they would do it until its dry.

Lol why are you guys acting like Toriyama has been writing new plot developments for years now? It'll just go back to how the series was before BoG. Living through games, fanworks, merchandise, and the occasional special/spin off

They will gather the dragon balls.


But in all honesty, Super will likely swiftly end. However, we'll still get games, merchandise, movies/specials and maybe a spin-off series. We were like a decade and change without DB before BoG.
"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime. It seems Dragon Ball has grown on me so much that I can't leave it alone." - Akira Toriyama on Dragon Ball Super

I think out of respect of Toriyama, they will ending the series with after finishing the arc they would be in. I think there will one-off manga about specific characters but not another tv show. That would most likely to happen if Toriyama dies.
