That's because to them Sakura is a kitten who doesn't put out and beats up their insert character (or denies their insert character the man she is entitled to have.) So she is an oppressor and therefor can't have suffered being the one who causes suffering, cannot have anything that makes she sympatric, and ultimately is just evil and you should feel no guilt when something bad happens to her because it is justice to them.

 
Oh I know. That is the actual reasoning for any tsundere, but again the double standard here is that others are actually encouraged for their love interests, even in the series it self. If you're talking about tsunderes with a ball-busting attitude, you can't look further than Temari yet she has many fans that want her with Shikamaru ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  And don't get me started on other series (cough cough* Black Clover *cough cough*)

Thats the part that really pisses me off, is that double standard. Its blatant hypocrisy and it also shows how the fandom is OK if Hinata is a tsundere or even a yandere like her Road to Ninja counterpart is shown as, yet Sakura cant be anything of those without being chewed out over it.

Well its been 7 years since naruto ended

Well, to preface this never played forenite but shot in the dark from what I understand.

 

On Forenite side of things. Forenite is huge with young kids. It also is what largely funds Epic Games since they used proceeds from it to pay for other exclusives for their store. One of the way they keep kids interested is by collaborating with other franchises. So, they can have new skins based off those franchises in the game. They have already done it with: Star Wars, Halo, Disney, Marvel, NFL, John Wick, Stranger Things, Borderlands 3, DC comics, Ghostbusters, Game of Thrones, Spongebob, Minecraft, Among Us, Five Nights at Freddy's, Family Guy, and Demon Slayer among others. Naruto was just the next on the list.

 

As for Naruto. Well, Epic Games has never been afraid of pouring money to get something. So, they are probably paying a decent amount of money for the rights. So, why don't the companies just agree to let them makes some skins and cloths for kids to play around with for free money, as well as to have an ad in one of the most popular games out there without having to do anything other then say, "yes." Its easy money and advertisement. 

 

Though, it is Shippuden Naruto not Hokage Naruto nor Boruto. Which means someone look at the data a decided to go with that instead of the hot mess that is Boruto.

Exactly and even Jump Force used Shippuden Naruto instead of Hokage Naruto while also having Boruto in for some raisins outside of likely something from Shueisha

You forgot Street Fighter on the list.

I didn't add a dozen if not more others they collaborated with, I figured the 17 going on 18 would make it clear enough to people.

I'm surprised it lasted three years. How much support did it get after launch?

It's not like Boruto would have been hard to do. Shrink Naruto, give him a black jacket, change his hair a bit, and give him a thrown rasengan. And his ultimate attack is... the Naruto Rendan finishing off with a Rasengan. So, he just a replacement for Kid Naruto

I don't know. After Katsuki Bakugo, Shoto Todoroki and Yourichi's release, it suddenly went dead. 

 

Although, I didn't hear anything recent with Shinobi Strikers, excluding the Masters DLC with Sakura in her war uniform was the latest release.

Probably either ran out of good characters or the DLC wasn't selling well. From what I recall, it flopped hard at launch.

 

As for Shinobi Strikers -which also had poor sales and reception- seems to be on its fourth season:

Sakura (war arc) Itachi and Nagato and Kawaki (Nail) are in season four.

 

For this game, I think its just cheaper to make so easier to keep going. Remember, they are just using CC2 Ninja Storm engine and characters for the most part.  So, all they have to do is have a limited roster at the start and then slowly refill it with the old games characters and a few reskins to milk their customers. That takes far less money then having to create a new character model each time like Jump Force had to. Also, they cut down on "new" characters, in Seasons 1 & 2 it was nine "new" characters. While in seasons 3 & 4 its only 5, and some of them are just re-skins.

Fortnite collabs with everything now a days. You can have Superman build a house while John Wick and Naruto fight over Optimus Prime.

It is stupid.

[BlueStarSaber]

I don't think there will be any reboot. Here's why.
Economists use the concept of opportunity cost to explain decision-making and the potential for regret. In other words, it's the regret you anticipate having for not making a choice.
Opportunity cost is the forgone benefit that would have been derived by an option not chosen.
The metapoint of being consistent with the story (in which making NaruSaku happens was part of it) is an opportunity cost. The publisher went ahead serving the loud minority, thrown away character development of 15 years and gave the loyal fans one of the most attricious, unsatisfactory ending in manga history. Of course they paid a hefty price for it, with now Naruto sales merely 10% of the original series, or even less.
In 15 years, Naruto original manga sold ~250 million copies. Whereas Boruto barely sold ~5 million in its 7 years run.
Now, here's the thing: you can't recover opportunity cost.
No matter what they do, the ship has sailed and whatever benefits they may realize are no longer there. Course correct now would be a waste of effort.
Look at how Kishi's new manga got axed within 5 volumes. Its first volume barely sold 10k copies in the first week. He can try again and I'll guarantee he'll get the same treatment from Japanese readers. I bet you that no sane editor out there in WSJ would want to put Kishimoto's name in their project. It'd be a good recipe for project failure. It's been more than a year since Samurai 8 was cancelled and there's a good reason no rumors of Kishi starting a new work or series.
So, why bother making a reboot when they don't even treat their loyal customer right?

Neen meaning to ask where did you get the 5 million numbers from? The Wikipedia page for boruto only shows boruto selling a million copies from 2017 and when I counted the the numbers from a reddit post up to 11 or 13 volumes, it was only 2.5 million?
