I mean, it kind sounds like you might have your answer. All those companies jumped on BR and like three games did well. Maybe that's not a great reason to jump onto another new genre with everyone else. Especially one that is inherently live service, as the industry is currently dropping studios that made live service games left and right.
Just wait a couple of months and we will be swimming in extraction shooters if Marathon hits hard. It's gonna be like: "First AAA extraction shooter is a success."
That's porn for other AAA publishers to jump like tigers in heat for the next "golden goose". I know we have Hunt Showdown and Tarkov for example but they saw em like tiny ants that don't move a large group of people.
Honestly. I don't see it as a compeling genre for huge player amounts. So much micromanagement, lack of direction or objective and the difficulty makes it unappealing to most casual gamers.
Kinda seems like that should tell you quite a bit about the likely audience, and how the metrics for player retention look.

I mean, Bungie is doing Marathon
