You realize they still sell many, many copies on all the platforms that aren't PC and don't have meaningful mod availability?

Skyrim isn't selling a bunch of copies on Switch for $30 on sale because of PC mods it can't use.

You can't judge much of anything based on switch owners and third party availability of games.

Except it has the same outcome on every other platform it's on, for the exact same reasons.

how can people so easily forget how big of a phenomenon skyrim was, pretty sure 90% of the playerbase never even tried mods
