Now that chuds realized they can't pinpoint this game's failure on wokeness, no one cares about it anymore. If anything, they actually want this failure to get memoryholed. Sorry, anon. Try making a Concord or Dustborn thread instead.

Just don't ask what they consider a player because none of these studios ever explains what metric they use to describe a player. It makes it easy to obfuscate sales numbers without technically lying to shareholders. also, that's pretty low when you consider it's on gamepass and Playstation+.

There's nothing more telling than the players metric, you'd think they would have figured out it's a black mark that signals a game did poorly but they keep doing it, why is that?

it's because it's a legitimate metric for subscription based platforms and the only ones kvetching about it are retards who have 0 impact in the industry

And yet the game is being sold on other storefronts, which lets us know the actual engagement is terrible. Nightreign had no problem reporting sales numbers because it was actually selling to people who wanted to play it. I'd understand if the game was exclusive to subscription based platforms because then you would at least have players who were engaged enough to put money and time into it among the numbers. 'Players' might as well be 'demo downloads' for how much those numbers relate to the actual value of the game. The fact is that subscription based games are seen and consumed as a lesser value product, people who play on the platforms largely pick it up for an hour or two, drop it and forget about it. It all feels like a prop to keep an dying industry from exposing itself as dying, piracy does less to devalue a game than game pass does.

No it isn't. "Players" means absofuckinglutely nothing. It's a desperate attempt to try to convince shareholders and retards like (you )that the game was a success.

Not just Game Pass. It's on PS Plus as well. So it should in theory be a lot higher than just one million.

Is "one million players!" the new gaming industry PR line? If the game is on Gamepass or the like, then that number really doesn't say anything about the game's success in profit

Sales versus players is worse than it sounds.
