    I guess all the twitter drama around the author matters less to the real world. It’s impressive to see how a vocal minority can completely distort what is happening offline.

      It happens every time. Pokémon Sword/Shield and Scarlett/Violet had the biggest launch in the franchise’s history despite being (justifiably so) heavily criticized by pretty much everyone online.

      People shit on microtransactions and always-online games but the top charts always show online multiplayer games are among the most played.

      It doesn’t make the criticisms any less valid; it just means that the general public is usually ignorant of them.

    It’s multi-platform, uses one of the biggest IPs of an entire generation and seems to do it quite well too. Everything else would have been more surprising to me.
