Yes, but it’s a long time horizon thing that investors and corporate leaders sometimes ignore.
Sure you can sell this turd with a huge marketing budget, but consumers won’t be fooled repeatedly by the same franchise.
Look at a recently perennially bad franchise like Need for Speed. Steaming pile after steaming pile selling on the nostalgia of Most Wanted and finally sales collapsed. The IP is badly tarnished and now even a hypothetical good NFS game has a low sales ceiling because nobody trusts EA to deliver.

The last time I bought a NFS game was at the PS4 launch, and that was because I was already buying Killzone and there was a deal for buying two games with your console.
It'd need to be potential GOTY talk about a NFS game for me to even look at one these days.
