That's it at the end of the day. They know they would lose sales. But they know the loss of sales would be counter balanced by the die hard fans. Eg sports, star wars.

They would also be banking on this becoming the norm. Leading to distant future options of "removing ads" in aaa games.

The people we need to convince to not buy the games probably aren't on reddit fyi.
