Super niche style of game gets niche game player numbers, in other news, water is wet.
Add to that the fact that the game is on gamepass, why would anyone spend 50$ on a 6 hour game with no replayability?
Those 3000 people are probably the hardcore fans of the first game, every other sensible person will give phil his 10$, play it on gamepass and move on with life.
Personally, for 10$ I absolutely loved it, it's a shit game, but it's a fantastic experience. 10/10 graphics, sound, music, and the story was pretty cool as well, don't really get what people are on about when they say it's shit or incomprehensible.
