Not surprised, there are so many of these games and the 'vibe' I read is that people are now tired of live service games (rather than 'getting tired' which has been the last few years). Unfortunately the game industry is several years behind just because of how long it takes to make a game (eight years in this case).
Honestly I am not sure where the AAA / console/PC game industry goes from here. It takes such a long time to make an AAA game, a game needs to make so much revenue or profit in the eyes of publishers or investors that why would they bother? AA games don't really exist any more and those that do don't make enough money to satisfy publishers/investors or whoever. BG3 and Elden Ring etc are loved and I am sure sell well but I doubt they make the money of peak Destiny / GTA:O / whatever the popular mobile games are. I'm not sure there is a way of making more money that peak live service games and I am not sure decision makers will accept making less money.
