First party titles are a platform play. Gamepass is a platform play. They are meant to drive people to look at the platform and want to enter the ecosystem. They build variety titles to get people to choose your platform versus their competition. They aren't meant to be massive revenue drivers, especially in this day of age. No one wants to sign up for a service that only has Marvel and Starwars, if every platform has Marvel and Starwars. You need diversity in gaming, but you don't need them to be platinum gold hits. It would be nice, but it's just not likely for a game like this.
You want to spend some time to explain why TLOU2 sold 50% of TLOU1 remastered? Or why in total sales sold 44% less than TLOU1. Just think on that for a while. It's not a SJW issue, it's not a political issue. The game has been out for so long now, people have had more than enough time to go out there forget about that and try it on their own, especially when these titles can be streamed on PSN premium.
Our generation will be the oldest gamign generation there is. But our generation is now largely between 40-50. this is where most of us who are in the working class will make the largest jump in salary, as older people age out, we are promoted into higher positions with more money. We use that time for our families and to try to make due in this crazy expensive world. Our generation of gamers is dwindling. We no longer represent the majority of gamers, we just represent the group of gamers with the most spending money. The gamers with the most time are playing f2p games, and if they have money, they spend it there. There's not this massive group of players sitting aroudn with both time and money to play all of these titles that are coming out. Everyone has to pick and choose.
