It's crazy how average gamers with spare $40 can completely fathom within 30 seconds of the gameplay showcase that they need not burn their money, but people in the industry with 100s of millions on the line are like "yup, this is the next star wars".

Because ones with the money are so out of touch with everything. Most likely only game they even play is golf.

Most likely they also never thought about not buying something that is "just $40" in their life.
