Link to data to back up these claims?
I have a hard time believing kids dropped Fortnite, Minecraft and Roblox to play Halo infinite.
I would imagine most of the people still playing Halo infinite were fans of the older games like Halo 3 and Reach. I fit into this category including all of the people I have played the game with.
You want data to show that 16 year old boys and men in their 30s have different priorities in life?
Everyone dropped Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft to play Halo Infinite. Did you see the concurrent player numbers it got at release? It was arguably the biggest game in the world for a day or two. The 3 games you listed do amazing with teens. You don't think todays teenagers checked f2p Halo Infinite out?
Then people got bored, and went back to other games. See: Halo Infinites precipitous drop on the Steam and XBox charts.
I would also agree with you that most of the people playing Halo Infinite today (which is a relatively small amount) are indeed the Halo purists who loved previous Halo games.
The problem is the Halo gameplay loop now resembles the Goldeneye N64 gameplay loop. Awesome in its heyday, but aged pretty poorly at this point.
