In the note
But with the strong playability, I wouldn’t rule out getting to 50 or even a little higher. And either number in relation to what it's predecessor did is consistent for a sequel made 4 years after its predecessor. The Watchers - As much as the ’nepo baby’ thing is getting some pushback from social media, I’ve never had a problem with parents who want to give some of what they’ve got to their kids, but only if they can deliver. Sometimes the kids are super talented and probably would have done great anyway, and sometimes it’s clear that they wouldn’t have made it on their own.
