This. I think there was too much trying to find the boogeyman of why the numbers aren't good, people just aren't interested in it, it seems. I know this is the PlayStation Studio thread, and I myself put PS games on somewhat of a pedestal also, but not every game needs to be vehemently defended because it's associated with the brand. I'm not saying people didn't genuinely defend the game because they liked it, but I feel like of this was an EA or Ubisoft game, this game would not have taken up so much of the conversation and energy that it did. And on the flip side, I don't think it would have received much of the vitriol it did either.
I think maybe FairGame$ has a better shot if the game is very different than what is already out there. For me personally. I had fun with Concord, but I was never gonna be a hero shooter guy so I was never the audience. But it was fun enough that I may pick up on discount.
