I could say it is. A reaction to lack of single player, mismanaged franchises and a move to full games as a service. I won't though, because my bet says that the sports games, have almost entirely the same fan base in general as fortnight and made the likes of Fifa the number one victim. It is also probably a blip and the battle royal scene will grow overcrowded then stale between now and end of the gen, and things will go back to normal.
