That’s a great point. SMWonder is putting out huge numbers compared to the equally amazing NSMBU. But console sales may be a factor. DS sales for the first weeks of NSBM was high but not 132M high.
DS got there eventually (including DS Lite in those sales even though the overwhelming majority are from DS Lite) but didn’t have the user base SMWonder had at launch.
Epic bought Psyonix a few years ago and immediately started making changes like making the game an Epic store exclusive and limiting steam connectivity. Game status and time left used to be able to be seen on the steam friends list and now it only shows Rocket Leagie being played.
This limit to trading is because Epic made several shitty anticonsumer moves like hiding how many people are searching in a queue and drove off the player base. By limiting trading a player is forced to buy any cosmetic instead of trading unused copies or blueprints they don’t want to other players. It’s just another branch hitting the remaining player base as the game is in freefall.
ASUS seems to think their ROG brand has a ravenous following that would ignore better hardware for brand loyalty. But the entire PC users segment they grab with their ROG label are also focused on performance using frames and milliseconds. Losing 2/3s of the power is like asking them to throw their money away. PC gamers will never be as brand loyal as they are performance loyal.
