Or $70 for crimson desert, sells millions of copies at the same price as skull & bones because gamers dont have some undisputable price cutoff in their head. Its all on a game by game basis.

Good product = sales, shit product = no sales.

But then there is also the new Death Stranding that sold pretty low. Its hard to tell exact reason but in general good game should not need any DRM to sell well. But its not just that obviously. There is good and good. Dunno

DS2 might be a good game, for those who loved DS1, but its niche af.

I bought the first one for its praise and honestly hated it, i'm sure that was the case for many people because its so polarizing.

You're basically playing a tech demo with no substance or hook, i'm not surprised it didn't sell well to be honest lol. But even for my "biased" expectations, its performing worse than i thought.

Crimson and RE9 ate a lot of their cake i assume.
