They're not wrong, many people are calling this garbage, and it's innovative in how garbage GAASlop can be.

Allowing 'engagement' to be used as a metric for things was a dire mistake.

*strong early engagement in a brand destroying drama that was caused by us stealing from an independent artist
fixed that for them

What is this from? How recent is it?

When they said they were cutting off marketing for Marathon, you really felt it. I'd seen virtually zero threads about it for weeks.

>>712528635
i think that has less to do with astroturfing and more the game just being really boring outside of the funny plagiarism controversy

it wont fail because of these reasons
it will fail because extraction shooters filter the shit out of players
it's not that the game will be bad necessarily
it's that once players see themselves getting stuck dying over and over and never managing to progress, while their friends shoot up the level curve and never die a single time, they will quit

>engagement
>TotalPlayers
>Test audience

this flowery corpospeak seems to convince the retarded investors into funding these pozzed projects, almost makes you wonder how they even got rich in the first place seeing how easily they are fooled by this asinine pilpul and haven't been ripped off yet by indian telemarketers

yep
tarkov games are for people who enjoy the challenge/journey, which is a minority of people out there.

so that's the new "metric", huh?

I thought it was for people who liked cheating. Isn't like 9/10 people using cheats?

>>712531113
about half the lobbies have cheaters
compare to ffxiv where 99.99% of all raid clears are cheated, it's not that bad

>>712531113
that is, assuming those who don't cheat. the cheaters are the people that want to win in a game where you're not meant to win most of the time.

Didn't Microsoft say the exact same stuff before?
