I’ll answer it here. I want it to do well, but a couple of things:

  1. Extraction shooters are hard to please in a mass market. Niche in steam will do fine, but this is going to be high budgeted title, which leads me to…

  2. Priced title will make it harder to get into, especially if it’s more than niche titles that would charge at maximum $30. The target audience is limited in that regard.

  3. The sheer amount of titles that are still going strong made a newcomer difficult to squeeze in. Marvel Rivals came in and put a dent to any one coming. Hell, it finally gave OW a motivation to step up.

They’re going to hammer in the name “Bungie” going forward, because it’s one way to make this game relevant to follow. I can foresee that it will do well in its launch; to follow is a real challenge.
