There's a difference between creating a new GaaS game and shoe-horning GaaS into an existing franchise, and one known to be a single-player franchise. No one wants Horizon GaaS and no one wants God of War GaaS. It cheapens the greatness of the existing franchise and is a very non-creative approach to make money off of consumers. The reason Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo are so big was because of how they grew to power and the way they did that was providing good games that eventually have been sequelled to death and now have some sort of GaaS counterpart. Eventually the gaming industry has taken hold of underage gambling with every match along with microtransations. Most of us never wanted this. Couple that up with woke agendas and poor design and you will see that we also never wanted this. We are truly voting with our wallets what we want to see. If you don't make the cut, that's not our problem, it's yours and it's less about hive mind metnality and more about the game studios making something uninteresting. So yes, we cheer when we don't want to see something milked to death in poor taste.
Majority opinion matters. Otherwise, things like Zune and Windows Phone would still exist.
