A bit surprised total war don't sell more.
Each year Steam has their big splash page of the best selling games; Civilization often ends up in the top tier; Paradox' strategy titles tend to end up in the top or secondary tier. I don't recall seeing the Total War series on that, though I might misremember.
Stellar blade dev said they don’t mind adult mods because they believe the game belongs to the player after they buy it so they can mod it as they please. They just keep on winning. Amazing attitude from one of the coolest up and coming devs.
If you're talking specifically about 3, it had performance issues at launch, DLC was less content for more money than 2, the immortal empires map didn't come out for a year or so after launch so you were stuck playing the shitty campaign that felt smaller and crapper than Total Warhammer 2. CA did some real shit customer service and poor business practice/community engagement. Plus it didn't really add that much people were excited about. 2 was kinda the peak. Sure 3 is arguably better, but it doesn't feel like you're getting much more for your money when you've got 1&2 already.
Several factors that I can think of:Some interesting sales number for sega game leaked:

- Total War as a franchise isn't exactly the easiest game for anyone to get into; It takes time to build a decent empitre, any mistakes can set you back, and some might find managing every part of the battles really cumbersome. It's a niche category like other RTS games in terms of accessibility
- JRPG, on the other hand, is much more accessible to everyone.
- Characters are much more fun and likable in in games like Like a Dragon, Shinigami Tensei, Persona, and Yakuza. And since there is a distinct narrative that drives the game forward I feel people are naturally more drawn to those JPRG
- Sonic doesn't even need an introduction, or even a good story per se; Just make the games fast-paced and it's a success
- Total War games have always been a hit or miss; TW: Rome II was criticized heavily, IIRC. TW: WH III also didn't do so well compared to TW: WH II. Hence, people are hesitant about buying the next TW game.

Sadly, it looks like Ross Scott is pretty much wrapping up the "Stop Killing Games" effort with nothing to show for it. And as usual, it's loud idiots shouting wrong things that was the biggest obstacle to success.

Cronos: The New Dawn Combat Overview
And attracting enough attention and actually getting people to write to their officials. I was pessimistic about the campaign over a year ago, but I salute him.
That Thor guy seems like a douchebag.

From the "what even is stylistic consistency anymore" files:
Is this actually going to sell well? Apparently the revival did better than I would've expected, and I practically grew up alongside this franchise.
