Let me allow some different opinions about 2 topics. Marketing: IMO - despite disliking it - marketing is very important. Marketing is about exactly knowing your target audience and catering your game for it. Bad or lack of marketing is percived as "couldn't you read the room?". IMO this is the reason why concord failed (they had 0 marketing and the game didn't fit any target audience) and why diablo 4 is a success, despite so many people dooming it a failure. See e.g. this video about elden ring marketing which is very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrWtR_-n7uI Mods and Starfield: Don't underestimte mods. Especially around the important target audience, the young generation, who love to customize their games. See the success of roblox, which is basically "Mods - The Game". I wondered why Beau didn't speak up, because he mods many of the games he plays. Be it for VR or just to make games like valheim or skyrim better. I got multiple playthroughs out of valheim, satisfactory and factorio because it is so customizable! I'd even argue satisfactory got such a hugh success because of mods, as they implemented the most popular mods right into the game. Imagine if heroes of the storm had modding support. You had custom heroes and maps right now.
