Why do so many AAA games flop? - Pachter Factor S11E32 (Patreon)

So many big budget games have sold horribly this year and some of them have been based on big IP! Why are they failing at retail when there are presumably smart people with plenty of money for research working behind the scenes? What can be done to fix it?
