True, but there have also been pretty Niche games that have tanked. But as you said, making it easy and appealing to the masses was the safest way to go after the 1.0 blunder. I'm ok with the end product that we got. It's not the game I was excited for when I heard they were rebooting it, but it's good enough for the time being that I enjoy playing it.
