It’s crazy that 10 million sales is considered a disappointment. Game companies need to lower their expectations. Not everything can be a Fortnite style success.
Looking at it with the perspective that low effort gacha games and gambling drivel makes for tens of billions sales, it makes sense why investors see this as disappointing. I agree with you wholeheartedly, though. Be it 10 million or 10 billion in profits, it is crazy to see either of those as a “failure.” This whole era of business suits driving game development is insane
