For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on. And in games that had subtitles turned on by default, only 10% turned them off.

I play with them on.
It’s not often that I can devote 100% of my attention to a game enough to play with the volume at cinematic levels and hear everything the way the devs intended
Few reasons why I turn on subtitles:
-
sometimes the dialogue is kind of boring and I just want to read and hit “next line”
-
sometimes it gives clues I wouldn’t hear like “hunter growling” or “witch sobbing” in left 4 dead.

Yup. Cut scenes are boring. Most dialogue is pretty meh. Just let me get past it so I can do stuff again.

I’ve tried without and the audio balancing isn’t always great, on FF16 Clive is hard to hear because his pitch is so deep I miss nuances or words completely.
Also growing up with games before voices were normalized. Habits die hard
I prefer them on, always.
The mixing in many games often makes me miss a specific word, and it’s distracting trying to catch everything said without a helpful subtitle bridge to do the lifting for me.
I’m deaf, so if I cannot skip cut scenes, I’d prefer them on.
I never play with subtitles because I end up just reading them instead of looking at the animation. Obviously it’s important to have good subtitles available for accessibility though.
