The fanbase -- the actual fanbase, not the people who demand the things they never intend to buy cater to them -- warned Deep Silver the game would bomb, and it did. No-one wanted a Saints Row game without the Saints, no-one wanted a story about a bunch of badly written characters that commit crime to pay off student loans while they bitch about destroying capitalism. No-one wanted a buggy left-wing power fantasy that even the vast majority of the left finds cringe-worthy and undeserving of their time.

TLDR: This is what happens when you alienate 80% of the existing fanbase to appeal to a vocal minority that were never fans and that were never going to buy the game no matter how much they were pandered to. Or: get woke, go broke.
