Well, it seems like we both misunderstood each other a bit, but I guess that’s okay. I thought it was all an argument to justify why companies end up making these kind of somewhat stingy and conservative decisions.

Yes, the AOE-4 campaigns have good narration and the documentaries are a great complement, but maybe there should have been a story like in AOM or AOE-3. (besides documentaries)
Attached videos of other games because this kind of thing would have been good for AOE-4, after all, casual gamers are the majority of gamers, and other AOE games contain things to make the single player experience more enjoyable. memorable.
This video shows how people liked the SC-2 campaign a lot, and it made some people stay in the game and then jump into competitive and sports.
The bottom line is that a game shouldn’t have campaigns just for the sake of it. It should be a mainstay of the game, even if a lot of people aren’t interested in singleplayer.
