There aren't good examples of the hero shooter genre actually being crowded at all. Overwatch 2 sucking even has opened up a whole lot of space at that. Overall it just seems like people are inherently hostile to the very idea of new multiplayer shooters now. This is the same community that had everyone relentlessly mocking helldivers 2 and immediately writing it off as a failure and calling the devs dumb for trying to make a biggger budget sequel to an isometric game that wasn't a massive hit. All while the games media was completely ignoring its very existence. It found an audience even without a marketing push, same goes for any game when the gameplay clicks.
