"a lot of copies" is very generous wording.
>You're not thinking like an investor. $40 x 8 million copies old
I didn't say it sold 8 million (that's what FF7 remake sold, probably more by now). Don't you even know how much E33 sold yet you're blabbing on about the sales and success of it?
And no I am absolutely factoring in investor logic. The larger the company the more total money it needs to return, since it needs to be noticeable for the investor reports. It doesn't matter for them if a game cost peanuts to make and did a 500% return if it's not even a blip on their earning report.
You have games like Dispatch selling over 1 million in 10 days, yet I'm not seeing you going on about that despite being more impressive in terms of sales.
The reality is E33 is a fluke that got extremely lucky they managed to sucker in a bunch of normalfag journous and idiots. The game itself is mid at best and does absolutely zero innovation or stuff that's impressive or well executed.
If you liked it, then cool, but don't go under this delusion that this is some tentpole game that will revoltionize shit or that people will even remember it a year from now.
Remember Black Myth Wukong? No one does, despite the """hype""", for very similar reasons.
