These big games companies have fucked themselves in my opinion, chose the worst time in history to raise prices and your game is going to have to be exceptional to succeed over the next few years. Too many games are releasing, these prices are too much and people just can't afford it. The pie is very thin and only a few will get a decent bite, GTA6, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei for example. Games that even give a whiff of mediocrity are going to fail, imo. They are eating themselves.
I suspect people are waiting for a sale with Doom TDA and they will with this aswell and to scratch the itch when a new title comes out the older titles will just get bumped more as the years pass and we delve further into some pretty shitty economic times. If there is a free knock off or a game similar that isn't going to end up with a case where the gamer has the game but no electricity to play it. AAA is done outside of Sony and third party are going to learn the hard way, ya gotta excellent right now. Take two will win here still, cause GTA is a black hole that'll suck all the money back in to make up for the failures but other publishers will be left scratching their heads trying to gauge interest and games will be attacked for silly little reasons like "wokeness" or something even if it's the most A political title possible (Marathon) because gamers need an excuse to call sonething trash when they can't afford it but subconsciously want it, the default is to go straight to hate and make themselves feel better about FOMO. You can see this happening right now.
