Don't remember saying that without referring to popular entertainment. Depends how long you require after it hits the market before you can justifiably state it's popular, and depends on what you're comparing it to.

Can something planned on being popular, fail at being popular? If it fails at being popular, is it still referred to as popular?

If a man wants a baby boy born to him, which is the popular choice by men, and it ends up being a baby girl instead, does it mean she's actually a baby boy? Should people refer to her as a boy? The man never truly knew what the sex was going to be until after birth, just like how a studio doesn't truly know if the game will be well received until after launch. The man won't know the child's overall gender for quite some time, just like how the studio won't know it's games overall sales for quite some time. If the baby girl doesn't meet the expectation, is she really a boy, and if the game doesn't meet the expectation, is it popular?

Yes it can, a pop music is a pop music even if it doesn't do success.

And considering how much conversation TLOU2 generated you can't say it isn't popular. Even if something is hated to the 11th power then it is popular, Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, etc are all popular people.

You are still trying to put some very odd fallacies for who know why to try and say TLOU2 isn't popular or that AAA aren't made to be popular. Worse yet, since woman are bigger part of the population they would be the most popular outcome, not that it matter since when we also have over 3B man they are popular as well. Just stop making analogies that makes no sense.

Pop music isn't pop music, if it sounds more like rap music. If you set out to create a pop album and the listeners say it sounds a lot more like rap, then is it still a pop album?

So what was the likely outcome of TLOU2 based on the games politics and the population?

If this is the way communication worked nothing would ever make sense. Which in upside down backwards world, is why you must be... right?

Go on Twitter and tweet that you think Hitler was popular, and tell me how it works out for you. I'll bet that saying Hitler was popular will quickly become a 'popular thing to say' after all is said and done...
