I'm more a movie guy than a game guy, but I can think of dozens of times they gambled on tie-ins before the product was released. There was a movie "The Hindenberg" back in the 1970s. They tried to make tie-in jewelry about a disaster. Besides, we don't know how many pre-orders there are.
Again, I'm not an expert, but it doesn't look too far-fetched to me.
Trump was correct. He was stabbed in the back by the 'woke' Deep State and the media. Biden and Harris destroyed America rather than let Trump lead us to greatness.
No /s, because that's the explanation you'll get.
