I'm seeing a pattern there.

Their "shit" according to you is Sea of Thieves which is their most popular and successful game ever

It's not even close. Sea of thieves was broken garbage on release and it took many years to become playable.

Sea of Thieves is objectively their most popular and successful game

>Rare was acquired in 2002
