IRL and virtual online popularities can be very different things.
Official financial reports of many game developers, Jagex included, often show games with higher concurrent players and far more online content creators grow at far slower rate than the others.
On the general consumer side, this fact can be well illustrated with a recent case study:
Jagex is running a crowd funded campaign to create IRL plushies under OSRS for over 12 days on Makeship since the OSRS Summer Summit, with plenty of promotions, giveaways, references with 30-50k daily Twitch/Kick concurrent OSRS viewers and blogs on their website. So far they sold 1412 Wise Old Man, 1190 Bob the Cat, 940 Gnome Child and 902 Nieve plushies.
Meanwhile, Good Boy Ollie started their campaign a day ago, but so far they have sold 4136 plushies already. Good Boy Ollie doesn't have big streamers with 30-50k concurrent viewers. They don't have people to do livestreams or write developer blogs and tell us Good Boy Ollie quadruple OSRS Nieve - it is always only their mom and granny... Good Boy Ollie can't tell us how huuugggeeee they are... because Good Boy Ollie is a dog in real life.
BTW, Singuarlity 6, a small developer of the new MMO Palia only started closed beta last month with not much online popularity also started a campaign on their Chapaa plush a day ago. Although not selling as many units as Ollie, they also managed to pull ahead of Wise Old Man and far in front of Nieve.

The revelation is clear: IRL popularity, what that often translates to real $$$, is very different from virtual online popularity.
