Yes but fo you notice gamers are now finding little details, anything at all to attack a game so they don't get FOMO. This Randy comment might even be used to drum up outrage, deservedly so. All it needs is a less than stellar score, 85 should do and a spark of outrage over any little detail, maybe identity politics or some character in the game. Borderlands 3's "comedy" was pretty heavily looked sideways at, the game wasn't well received by fans, it sold half of what Borderlands 2, pre economic problems. This might not flop but the game has a 300 million budget, breaking even is a real possibility if gamers reject it and that still with good sales of 4-5 milllion. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out at any rate, how a once 30 million seller will perform today, I can't wait to see what the industry is like at the costumer level, it's very hard to gauge how people are doing financially, if you were to guess you'd think worse than 2008/2010 just with the shear cost of living alone. Europe might now be as bad but it's getting there...
