This is literally how the Gaming Crash of 1983 happened...

>uhhh let's make news based on a hyperbole
Fuck modern news journalists

If the game is good it may hit that. COD has been kinda shit lately so it may take players from them if it is

Why have 100 million players spending $60 when you could have 1 million players spending $60,000?

I dont think battlefield can ever be good again bros

>budgets ballooning
>prices going up
>consumer spending going down
>western games flopping left and right while European/Asian continue to rise in popularity
>AI taking over
Tens of thousands of American game devs are going to get laid off of the next few years. The market is way oversaturated and people are buying less than ever.

>>714394576 (OP)
Ok but...why would they expect that?

>>714394576 (OP)
Video game companies like EA are literally setting themselves up for a buyout.

Why does Fortnite make so much money when it’s literally free?

>>714394576 (OP)
>Expects 100 million players
Soo these people are completely out of touch with reality, huh?

>>714394576 (OP)
Gaming will be fine. One IP dying won't mean much.

>>714394576 (OP)
I bet it's gonna flop.

>global
Now post US stats

>>714395575
double the chart and those are your numbers

That's a good thing. We are looking at a great reset for the video game industry, which means now is a great time to start making video games as an indie dev and get a foothold in the new industry.

If the game is F2P and on mobile then 100 million is possible. You've got kusoge like Delta Force that gets similar numbers because of China.

>>714394576 (OP)

I can't wait for Battlefield 12 to have an expected player count higher than the entire population of Earth.

why not both, and expect 100 milion players all spending 60k? they could make 6 trillion dollars with just 1 game. all they need to do is expect it.

>>714395204
it has a battle royale mode and CoD supposedly managed to break that number

>>714394576 (OP)
So, is it 3 times better than their best seller?

>>714398480
cool it with the antisemitic remarks

>>714394576 (OP)
They wouldn't have expectations like this if they were focused on the core Battlefield multiplayer as the main mode.

i cant wait to never spend my money on this game
