Investors only need to know how many copies got sold, they couldn’t care less who’s actually playing or how well-liked a game is.

Sure. Unless the company plans to release mod tools, expansions, etc.

Generally speaking, for all games OTHER than Bethesda games I’d agree with the statement, but come on, how are they going to sell us starfield playing on a smart toaster if nobody is still playing it a few months after launch?

Investors may well be interested in how well sequels are going to do. They may well take high player numbers as positive sentiment that is indicative that even new, unrelated titles will sell well.
