Some people gave a reasonable explanation on the viewership disparity, ill give the reality that isn’t sunshine and rainbows. I see a lot of people online who are upset by certain elements in the spoilers. Coupled with the implications of harsh crunch culture, their mass YT copyright strikes is creating the “Streisand effect” (look it up if you don’t know) and ties to Anita Sarkeesian I can see bad word of mouth taking effect. |
There was never any guarantee of it selling more than the first game which has now lived on 2 platforms (PS3/PS4), but I really think people are living in an echo-chamber if they think even 1% of the games potential audience will tune out because of this topic. All meaningful word of mouth will occur when the game is released, reviews pour in and people actually play it.
I will be following it sales very closely to see and hope to be proven right
