Can anything be done to make SMT more appealing to this market?

Also in this episode: Early hands-on impressions of Elden Ring are great, FFXIV: Endwalker is delayed, and Todd Howard laughs himself to sleep on a pile of money flanked by two beautiful ladies because people can’t stop buying Skyrim.
