Hype and 'interactions' (streamers, youtubers, water-cooler talk) really make the cash, the game is just a conduit for them. Of course it takes a decent game to recruit those two concepts, but you can polish a turd enough to make it work ie: AAA games

AAA games are making vastly more money than people streaming AAA games. Blizzard did 6.5+ billion and EA did 4+ billion last year
