A good look into just how f*cked the AAA market is right now. Publishers think Deus Ex is too niche to take on the finacial risk of funding it. Human Revolution and Mankind Divided sold a combined 12m copies between 2011 and 2022, so 11 years of sales for Human Revolution and 6 years of sales for Mankind Divided, probably something like 7m copies for Human Revolution and 5m for Mankind Divided. Publishers now think that a AAA series capable of 5m+ sales is too risky to financially back.
