I get where he's coming from to an extent.

SE is going to look at their production budget as an investment and compare that to the ROI of putting that money into the stock market, that then sets the expectation.

Problem is that all the covid money printing situation really messed with the equation, as the stock market exploded while gaming and other discretionary spending has now decreased for their target audience post-covid.

Honestly for myself, the demo just didn't excite me. So much of the discussion was around how bad the textures were on the performance mode as well. Knowing its coming to pc, I'll play it there.
