what gets popular and what doesn't is entirely dependent if they release at the right time.
Apex Legends released right when br was getting popular but all you had was slop grafted from other games.
Marvel Rivals released at the apex of wokeness when it seemed that nothing with western properties could ever look sexy again.
And now Battlefield 6 is getting traction because COD is leaning too much into silly cosmetics and crossovers with pop culture slop.
It's all about things coming out at the right cultural moment.
