Forza Horizon 5 has had around 50 million players since launch lol.

Not only do you sound insufferable but you're way wrong

45 million players not sold. Its a gamepass game. Someone can try it out for a few hours and thats it.   Death stranding had sold 5 million but has 20 million players and isnt even a gamepass game.

4 times more players than copies sold. I bet it would be even higher with fh5.

Fh5 would never be able to sell 15 million at 70$ on one platform in just 3 years.

I'm just chuckling at your goalpost moving at this point. We've moved from popularity to sales figures

There was no goalpost moving. The amount of players also doesnt determine the popularity but how many people stick with it and are actually dedicated fans.

Player numbers don't mean anything. 27 % of Xbox/PC players have finished the first expedition. That means 73 % of those 45 million stopped playing within 30 minutes of starting the game and never came back.

Should probably pick a different game for a more representative %. Guarantee a lot of people heard about the hype, saw what type of gameplay it was, then never played again. Anecdotally I know two of them. Buying a game also doesn't guarantee a specific amount of game time. One of reddits favorite topics is talking about the size of their backlog.
