I really don't like the conclusions of this at all. People who play new games pick up the game for a month, play it, and move on. It's okay and a sign of a healthy industry.

People who play these specific games are just playing the one game they play. People aren't picking new games over old games. The results just have obvious bias that the news organisations are not picking up on

It’s also kind of disingenuous to label games like Fortnite as just some “old game”, you know the same Fortnite that has major updates every few months and is literally including new games within itself (like rocket league racing thing).
