They don't sell? I was an older teenager when BioShock 1 came out, and people LOVED shooters? Wtf were they talking about? QUAKE?? Everyone was playing cod or half life 2. Fps was a successful genre already, both single player campaigns and multiplayer. i really don't get this quote.

Immersive Sims never really sold well, that's why it's a dead genre since 2017

Zomboid literally is a game of the dead, so yeah, this checks out.

Zomboid isn't an im-sim, tho.
