How many times are you going to move the goal posts?
No one is watching CNN for gamer news.

I think more people who pay to subscribe to NYTimes care more about live theater than video game news.
I'm not saying it's not a story, just not one most people care about. Avid gamers had barely heard of the game before it flopped, average non-gamer wouldn't care.
Joker sequel flopping is a bigger story because the first one was well recieved, also celebrities are involved.
If the next call of duty sells 14 copies and shuts down in two weeks it would be a big story.
A game no one heard of until it shut down isn't that interesting of a story. It's not that deep.
My problem with "its just cosmetic" is that it turns the entire main screen into ad space, along with loading screens and wherever else they can jam it in. I don't play game to be advertised to.
Of course I can choose not to buy in, but if it didn't have a psychological effect they wouldn't be doing it.
Holy shit, micro transactions for fast travel? What the fuck
But it's just cosmetic! /s
