Because once the /v/edditors had their fun with the prerelease hype thread and their postrelease reddit memes, doing their little music videos and being attention whores, they stopped caring and moved on to the next thing they could say "I'm an OG fan of". The game by no means is a 2/10 but it is not a 10/10. Its level design is generic REngine slop, the realistic approach to its artstyle makes everything look like a generic grey mess of assets, and V is simply an unfinished characters that you could be blindfolded and get SSS with no effort. Add to it that 90% of enemies are trash in design and gameplay, the lack of inertia polarizing the DMC4 autists and you have a game that once the hype died down, wasn't really all that great. A 7/10 game in all its parts.
It also became obvious Shitsuno didn't give a fuck about the game post release. Giving only a half baked Special Edition with Vergil and LDK, no co-op Bloody Palace, and no Lady and Trish DLCs even though heavily teased. Which funny enough, same thing that happened with Dragon's Dogma 2, it released, Capcom got their money and Itsuno walked out the door leaving the game with only the promise of a DLC in the horizon. The entire affair just left a sour taste in people's mouths and got them to take a look back on DMC5, DD2 and Itsuno and realized they were dealing with a man who always gave them promise but can never actually deliver.
