It not that surprising that popular games are popular. Jim Sterling had a video on it, and cited WCW as a warning. WCW major mistakes came when they were dominating WWF/WWE, and by the time they noticed that their actions were hurting sales it was too late.
Yeah, it kinda doesn't mean as much if all the data comes from big-name titles and known succesfull IPs. There's people like me who'll just buy any new main-line Halo game no matter what because it's Halo. There's lots of people out there who'll do the same for Star Wars, CoD, etc... I'd be more interested in seeing data about new IPs attempting to include them.
Honestly i am not surprised that loot boxes are kinda in the middle. I get all the rage especially for loot boxes in single player only games. If a game has loot boxes BUT they don't provide any pay to win possibility, and the boxes are still acquirable by just playing, then i am okay with it. Loot boxes so far are only cosmetic so i don't care if someone decided to drop 100.000.000.000$ into a game just for loot boxes. Doesn't affect me at all. If they want to spend that much on loot boxes then more power to them.
As long as its not pay-to-powerup loot boxes and as long as it doesn't shove the loot box pop-up adds in my face... im also fine with ignoring loot boxes.
