Sure, no one played System Shock 1 or 2.

System Shock sold less than 200,000 copies. It was enough to keep the dev afloat, but ultimately still wasn't profitable.

System Shock 2 sold even worse, and was a flop by pretty much every metric.

The newer re-releases on Steam and GOG have done ok, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation we were having.

2 has over  831,272+2,127 + 1,699. Also from the wiki of the first System Shock:

"Critics praised System Shock and hailed it as a major breakthrough in its genre. It was later placed on multiple hall of fame lists. The game was a moderate commercial success"

It's not a failure of a game and it's certainly not one to forget (unless you purposely ignored it, which would be telling).

Either way it has had it's share of profits, people talking about it and becoming a game known by many on PC.I don't think it's fair to deny the game any credit towards inspiring anyone out there for their games.
