The gameplay trailer has over 10 million views... The release date trailer has 3 million. What are you arguing about, really? Does "hotly anticipated" mean it has to reach GTA 6 levels of hype?

The gameplay trailer has over 10 million views…

Videos on IGN's channel get lots of views. News at 11.

Their own channel OTOH recently:

I give you that years ago IGN may have managed to generate a bit of hype but recent uploads on their own channel are anything but "hotly anticipated". If that game was actually "hotly anticipated", the hype would have persisted and not winded down to "mildly anticipated".

No those trailer views don't count because they're not on the official youtube's channel

People watch trailers in well-established channels rather than hunting for a new studio's official channel. More news at 11. Who cares where views come from when you search "game trailer" and click the first thing in front of you? Do you get off being pedantic?

Search the game name anywhere and you will see a slew of popular articles and videos on it. But clearly you, the main character of the universe, never heard of it so it's just not popular.
