The new doom flopp-ACK

its official now Valve is dead, Steam is irrelevant and only used by boomers, Game Pass PC is the number one service on Personal Computers and Gabe should have sold to Microsoft when he had the chance now all he’s gonna get offered for his glorified digital hat gambling storefront from Phil and Nutella is pennies to what it was overvalued at before Steam is fucking FINISHED

if I see anfuckingSteam CCU thread again I will laterally fucking piss out my asshole on your threada, God Bless the Golden Dome

Why do you play on the easiest difficulty?

3 million players

there is that number again
there is that word again

Players

Ah yes, 10 Starfieldillion gamepass players. Whatever you say, mr xbox-man. Whatever you say.

As someone that couldn't give less of a shit about Nu-Doom, I have to say that we simply don't have the data for gamepass success shitposting.

I know that people inevitably compare to the new Stalker and Clair Obscur, also day 1 gamepass games that had way better steam metrics, but at the end of the day, Microsoft is not playing the steam game. They're playing the gamepass game.

It's gonna be interesting to see which studios Microsoft sees as successful and which studios Microsoft sees as failures. What they say is irrelevant, what matters is their actions. If there's no ID layoffs anytime soon and they're doing a new Doom game after, then Dark Ages was a success and we'll have to adjust accordingly.

This is 'very easy', right? It gets faster all less telegraphed on higher diffs, right?

all this proved to me is thet PC sisters are cheap as fuck both not buying games or upgrading their 2008 toaster build, cry more Rajeesh

SHART AND FART

What is the obsession with caring about player numbers? Especially for single player games?
Who does it affect if the game is fun? Certainly not the player.

KEK no way they lost to those fucking flops

Gamepass is gonna become the modern day tortanic. By which I mean Anon Babble will be considered it's an eternal flop for years until it turns out it was a huge success and it gets memoryholed that Anon Babble believed otherwise.

nuDoom's primary platform is PlayStation.

They have no response to this LOL

this looks way too stiff. is sitting still and parrying the most telegraphed attacks ive seen in my life really the best gameplay they could come up with for whats mean to be a bossfight?
that shit has wings, why doesn't it fly up and skydive into you?
Why doesn't it have a flame attack that you have to be conscious about so you don't spam m1?
why does his attacks look like the shittiest touhou clon imaginable?
why do you have to break its super armor and then deal damage in a cutscene?

could it not just be the case that Doom is now a console-centric franchise and PC troons prefer North Korean furry diaper visual novels with extraction shooter elements compared to what Doom is offering? seems they shouldn’t have devoted any time to developing for this idiosyncratic platform, hopefully it comes to Switch 2 soon

Wait a minute, that card

lmao holy shit

VPetbros... not like this...

saying that anything is "console centric" is admiting thst your game sucks ass. have you seen the shit that sells on pc? palwolrd? r.e.p.o.? fucking schedule 1? any random sss game can sell millions, even if it looks like ass, as long as the gameplay is good.
to not even met the standard of "its fun to play" its laughable

"Players" means they're counting Game Pass subscribers, not just people that bought it.

Doom is now a console-centric franchise and PC troons

I wonder which one of those platforms your own ass is biased towards

brown

GaMePaSs Is A sTrEaMiNg SeRvIcE , sAlEs DoNt MaTtEr

Kys

did people sign up specifically to play doom or where they already on it?

ac: black fag

troonguard

imagine losing to these. doom is done for

Reminder that the forced hate campaign against TDA exists because this board is mostly effeminate zoomers that play genres with high female engagement like anime games and phone games and streamer garbage and like women they obsess over engagement numbers over actual substance

given how AC counted people who interacted with their PlayStation inbuilt ads as "players", they probably counted anyone that interacted with the doom ads

not my job to educate you

As in "I made it up but please believe me anyway"

doomxixters...

Microsoft is making $15/month from everyone signed up.

I doubt anyone will play it past that first month so basically they just sold the game for $15.

players

b-but muh gamepass

b-but muh players

Expedition 33 proved that is cope. Game pass does inflate "players", but it doesn't affect sales if the game is good.

Do they not attempt to optimize games for PC? I'm sure many avoid most major releases because of that.

phone poster

opinions ignored

Still doesn't mean Microsoft necessarily sees this as a failure, because at the end of the day, their real metric is how well it does on gamepass, not how well it sells on steam. Until they get rid of gamepass, this will always be lenses they will see these games on.

Which isn't to say that 3 million players is enough. Truth is, we simply do not have access to the stats that they use to judge successes and failures.

Expedition 33 ran out of physical copies as well.

x.com/Chris_Dring/status/1924954084269777113

All gamepass btw lmao.

weren’t they asking something like 120 Trump Bucks or something close to it for a 5 hours parrysloppashoota? absolutely delusional

Players = it's flopping
Sales or units sold = successful

Know the lingo

Shooting a gun is optional... Im so fucking tired of parryslop in everything, even in fucking Expedition33.

Why do millennials care so much about sales numbers, anyway? You DID get out of the stock market when Trump got elected, right?

yup anyone with a brain can look at its steam numbers and conclude it's a flop

No game that goes to gamepass is succesful. 100% of all gamepass games are a flop. Putting a game on gamepass is just the company admitting it was.

jesus

players

so gamepass

anyway eternal is better etc and harder but only if you dont use the difficulty options in dark ages, dark ages on 150% speed, max projectile speed and max damage is harder than eternal and faster

DOOM ETERNAL SOLD 3M IN 10 DAYS
THIS HAD 3M PLAYERS IN A WEEK

WHAT THE FUCK

No one subs to gamepass lmfao

buy an ad

surprised when people arent buying marty stratton trash after the eternal fiasco that faggot pulled

Why do millennials care so much about sales numbers

hate to break this to you sweetcheeks but this is a purely Zoomer mentality, millennials are too busy enjoying vidya on their downtime between managing work life, family life and sex life. for some reason zoom zooms treat everything like the fucking stock market, its truly embarrassing

I beat it, what now? There's no multiplayer or reason to replay the game.

i give you multiplayer (but then again almost no one played it because who cares)
but everything else is better than eternal for replayability, you can make so many fun playthroughs just with the detailed difficulty settings vs the base settings of eternal

Microsoft isn't ever getting rid of Game Pass, they'll make a cloud specific one and an ad one and they'll get rid of the console one. They may make PC Game Pass like the console version and just get rid of the PC title in it.

Of course any thread that is about engagement numbers also can't help but mention games made for women like E33.

These threads are entirely made up of women or people who think like women and obsess over engagement numbers.

it does feel like they just shat this out with no fanfare, wheres the roadmap? the Master Levels? a horde mode? just something, it feels so fucking barebones

Remember when Ass Creed Shadows was also posting player counts and then two months later Ubisoft posted a 160 billion euro loss?

It's the final boss btw in case you didn't know lmao

This game is so garbage, no one's gonna buy it no matter how much fake news MS shits out about it being a "huge success" on game pass.

Farming simulator 25 has more players than the most recent doom

Oh no no no no

Players

Holy KEK have they even sold a million?

Let's fucking go brother, those chuds thought we'd both flop but we showed them, right?

its been a month and expidition shill STILL shit up /v with non stop new threads and still feel the need to shill it in no expedition threads.
I have even seen them on other boards trying to shill game only to be told to buy a ad and fuck off lol

doom DDA sold as much as 2016 and eternal,

assuming mS doesnt differentiate between pass and steam then this secures it to continue for at least another one, i wonder how they will fuck it up next

oh my god...

bosses in 2016 and eternal and dark age are all a miss shit bosses in doom are not unique to dark age or even just doom most shooter bosses are shit

DOOM 2016 was a breath of fresh air back in the day
Eternal got lucky with covid release
TDA is overpriced and a third installment, derivative game.
DOOM has no cultural impact honestly, overrated franchise.

You obsess over engagement numbers like a woman.
You even saving this on your computer proves you're a woman or act like one.

See all this obsession over engagement numbers? It's like women clamoring over the latest celebrity news gossip when their favorite celebrity idol announces a new relationship.

This one is even posting tranny cartoon images.

No, you keep pretending this is about the series continuing or not when if that was the case D44M would never have released. You just hate to admit you act and think like a woman.

See, this is the obsession I meant, don't act like there is any logic behind it other than herd mentality woman brain think.

How is that even good with game pass included? Aren't there like 30+ million subscribers?
~90% of those subscribers were like

nah, not even for "free"

I hope they pay you in a valuable currency Ranjeet

You can't explain why you obsess with engagement numbers.

Whoa why was I dragged in? I was just wondering why Satisfactory had such a huge peak. I thought the game was niche.

You can't explain why you obsess with engagement numbers and try to mask acting like a woman as something else.

n-no, stop talking about it!

Did those numbers look that complicated to you? Damn, son.

So, you can't

let's hope this game had a light budget

see Woman brain at work. Can't even own up to your own actions and think and act without logic simply because you see others doing the same and instead respond with passive aggressiveness.

i only get game pass about 2 months a year with my bing points. not worth it for me when i only play about 3 games on there, one being minecraft which i still have my receipt from early 2011 but i got kiked out of my account for being inactive for a decade and not "migrating" it

see

Game Pass has 34 million subscribers btw.
You only need 1/10 of them downloading the game to surpass that number lmao.

its even more embarrassing that with 34 million, the vast majority of them flat out refused to download and play the game for free

Game Pass has 34 million subscribers btw.

A bit more than 2 million of the players are probably from gamepass so the news is really that 6% of gamepass subscribers downloaded a free game holy KEK

It's been explained in another thread. Without sales figures we have no idea if it was a financial success or not.

unrelated but is BeamNG good? worth a buy?

Don't pretend like there is any logic behind your action besides woman-brain herd think.

see,

Wow. This game turned out to be total shit. I'm glad I refunded this fucking nightmare of a turd.

The game turned out to be shit based on low engagement numbers? Is that your argument?

if you don't care about structured racing and just want to fuck around with mods or drive around in free roam scenarios, it's pretty good I guess. The physics are pretty punishing and crash physics are the best in the industry with each part of the car being simulated. They could make the best rally game since Richard Burns if they really wanted to, but I digress. Most people just do autistic shit like launch a school bus off of a mega ramp instead and watch it crash and burn. It's basically glorified Burnout with simulation physics.

i mean you kinda gotta feel bad for diehard doom fans right? its a fucking THIRTY YEAR FRANCHISE for christ sake. can we just let it fucking DIE ALREADY?

I really dislike those colourful orb drops. The previous Doom game had this too and I didnt buy them because of this. It just seems so out of place

This should honestly get id shut down for good. There is no justifying this.

to be total shit.

Yeah I was kinda surprised i didn't expect it to look and play like shit. I figured they'd at least get it to look nice but it looks way worse than the previous games.

Players

The difficulty isnt the problem. Look at the gimmicky gameplay. Wtf is that? It looks like shit

Yes that is the argument that is being made here apparently. You can't explain your own logic without a made up cope about somehow caring if there is a sequel or not.

see It's shit because the engagement numbers said so?

why is it so easy to generate seethe with this? lmao

why are people even happy about this?
it isn't a woke game

guess again then

That's insane
I refuse to believe it sold that little

players

Anon Babble continues to ignore that a company owned by Microsoft brings value to Microsoft by increasing the value of gamepass

Very sad indeed but I guess game autists are somewhat better than console warriors, maybe?

do me this favor

No.

that's all they have left with all the subscription model that is eating up real unit sales. the worst part is that those services don't make them money, they get paid once to be put on the service, and then it doesn't matter whether 10 or 10 millions people click on your link. It's good if you planned to make a cheap flop, it's bad when you make an actual success.

If calling everyone a schizo you can't refute is your strategy then you must be in this situation often.

does your cousin work at microsoft or something ranjesh?

Playing on babymode

LMAO

Because the budget was incredibly small and they sold well. They had barely anyone working on Doom 3 so it actually brought id a record profit. Dark Ages is a massive production and the sales they've brought in so far will definitely incur a loss

KWAB
Doom was raped on the lonely night in 2025

value

Sure, tell me how many new gamepass subs were sold the day the game came out. Oh, wait.

indians only hire other indians so I guess yeah.

mind breaking the profits down for me then i'd like to see how spending 100 milion on a game makes xbox live profit

I'm willing to bet more than half the people arguing don't even have stock in the companies.

Fun fact:

Has yet to be refuted, and those who tried have given up and regressed into passive-aggressiveness, a very woman-brained behavior pattern.

This context is provided with no further comment.

Do we have Doom Eternal's numbers?

Doom 2016 reached 1 million in three months.
So entirely possible.

So how did they end up making D44M if their previous game made no profit and bombed

And Eternal?

I see you have no idea what you're talking about. Subscriptions aren't just about bringing in new users. It's also about retaining existing users. Add enough things and more people will jump on over time, not instantly. Keep adding shit and more people will retain their membership.
Nobody signs up for something like Netflix because they want to see one show or movie. They do because of the catalog.

Doom is one of those IP people kinda recognize but don't feel like playing. It has a niche, sure, but it's not going to be a trillions seller anymore.

Mind breaking down how much gamepass makes and what the value of gamepass is?

Another fun fact:

The claim that Doom TDA bombed is founded on an "independent analysis" and posting steam charts comparisons to non steam pass games.

Around 3 million on launch month. Though launch month and three months is a minor difference for most games since sales usually drop very fast after launch day. Until it goes on sale.

Which one bombed? Rage?

It's losing to the biggest flops of the year

Doom is completely fucked isn't it?

the third installment of the series reboot is shit

Tradition.

For me, it looks like they're trying to inflate the stock price or at least keep it at the current price.

n-no, you answer this question first!

lmao fag

Then it's pointless to try to measure an individual game's success based on gamepass (a.k.a. player) numbers because there is no way to distinguish what games are actually retaining people subs. Thanks for agreeing.

it's shit because low engagement numbers

Doom is completely fucked isn't it?

Don't worry the gamepass fairy will send id Software 200 million bucks Microsoft is real generous

You're asking questions I have no fucking way of answering, so I thought you'd like to answer a question in the same vein.

Without any avenue for user-made content, is it even Doom?

fewer units of a product sold by profit-driven company is bad

Yes. Good talk. Welcome to class 101.

concession accepted then

might want to read this
channelnews.com.au/microsoft-struggling-to-grow-game-pass-after-a132-billion-dollar-activision-aquisition-now-long-term-play/

Devs are happy people are playing their games. If their parent company sees that their game is popular on a service people subscribe to, it bodes well for them. That's why.

There are still 32 million gamepass users who didn't download the game yet, until they do, they can post 35 million players and become a great success.

Ahh, yes, why bother putting things on it then.

You're still in this thread but having to shelter and evade me because you can't reason even to yourself why you hold your stance that is anythin but herd mentality woman-think when instead you could have admitted this and ran away like everybody else who failed to refute the simple claim so far.

Game sells better

"YOU CANT BRING IT UP BECAUSE... MUH SHILLS!!!!"

Listen, i dont think its organic either (i literally dont hear about that game anywhere outside of here), but it sold, it says it sold instead of having X players, it got the number that proves it sold, and it also had the same copecrutch games that didnt sell use to explain non existent steam numbers.
So of fucking course it will be brought up in a thread about the game that didnt sell and is apparently just using the same crutch, you fucking retard. If Big Rigs did the same instead, then it would be brought up here instead.
Now go and shit up actual E33 shill threads with this and dont forget to sage them while you do so

aw what the hell, have another one, it's on me
(You)

I'm really enjoying the game, it's relaxing. I know some people love Doom because it gets their blood pumping but that ain't me. I loved 2016 because it made me feel like playing Metroid Prime and DA has the same feeling. I see a demon, I shoot him with the super shotgun, he explodes, I go to the next demon and super shotgun him too. There are projectiles flying around but I just trot around them and keep shooting. The architecture is really nice looking too, it's very cathartic.

Incidentally, the dragon level which I just did, lots of people hate this one, but I just got done with Xenoblade X and flying around gave me the same relaxing feeling as flying around the world in the mech of that game. I enjoyed that level the most of all so far.

Sure, show us the gamepass numbers increasing then.

hardest cope kek

This guy cries about le woman brain while acting like a woman fucking lol

Xe craves attention. Truly femoid pilled.

if you had an explanation that is anything but herd mentality woman-brain group thinking based on engagement numbers you would have already explained this. with no copes, with no attempts to evade or deflect. like an actual man who's capable of independent thought.

but you aren't that person. you cannot confront me because you know you are a herd mentality oriented woman-brain driven by engagement.

Saar please understand, indian IQ 76 average.

The question is loaded by the innate fact that you are engagement driven group thinker and you can't reconcile it while thinking you secretly can.

But if that secret way existed, you would have stopped stalling and explained it without some cope like "I care if they get to make a new game" which you independent thinkers have already tried a few times, yet ignoring how Doom 3 still got a sequel after making 0 money.

You can't reason yourself or anyone else in this thread but for whatever reason, you refuse to leave the thread like so many others before you who admitted they have no real stance or explanation and simply enjoy some herd-brain behavior every now and then.

keep going on, lady, this is funny

wait this is doom da? this is a different game, right?

ask a loaded question

be a retard about it

lmao

everything is so fuckin embarrassing

Yet again, we see the deflection because you can't confront the reason why you are putting so much emphasis on engagement numbers in your media consumption behavior.

It is a loaded question only if what I'm asserting is true. Not if you can prove I'm not making a valid case.

You can't do that, thus for you the question is loaded.

putting so much effort into dissecting an element in a game that is completely disregardable (the story in an action game)

Why? Is it because you're a woman-brain?

Still waiting on the sales numbers

Fun fact, these are still on the table

they marketed it as a story game and you still bought it, cope

I was gonna try it on gamepass but microjeet can't even get billing right and it insist I'm in a wrong country despite correct account settings.

Alright, let me just step into the thread to laugh at you.
Devs have taken to saying "players" instead of sales, but this doesn't give any actual representation of the game's success. They have the sales numbers, which directly do, and choose not to share them. Then you look at what sales numbers you do have, or at the very least numbers that directly correlate to sales like Steam's and you can get a better idea of what their sales were actually like, which is to say it's not impressive. Hence why they masquerade behind players rather than sales.
Does this sufficiently explain the salesfagging to your pea-brain?

You didn't play the game. You watched some tiktokker play it. Like a woman you are.
That's not what was asked. Tell me why you care about engagement numbers.
Tell me why you can't answer a "loaded question"? If I had to hypothetically answer the question I would answer it straight off the cuff by just saying "idk, more fun to talk about the game with more people". I wouldn't need this 3 hour song and dance to avoid the question while still making passive aggressive comments while monitoring the other guy's posts.

That is woman-like behavior.

Being this obsessed of an attention whore is like having a spiritual pussy. You have a vagina in your soul, bro.

Tell me why you care about engagement numbers

I don't. Nobody does. That's why everyone is going

Because they know it's fucking retarded. Are you brain damaged by chance? Post hand.

Tell me why you can't answer a "loaded question"?

easily, because i'm not a woman to engage in pointless bickering with retards who can't hold a proper conversation.

Over $80 for a title says that gamepass isn't making money and therefore not "increasing the value".
First rule of capitalism, if you're losing money somewhere, you pass it on to the paying consumer.

deflection while avoiding the question

So the woman-brain behavior continues.

Why is it so hard to answer the question, are you so scared of the implication of "answering a loaded question" on an anonymous website?

If you were capable of thinking like non-womanbrain you would have answered me without a second though.

it's an easy question anon, please answer it.

By not being a doom game anymore

This thread is going to be up a while it seems. You might as well try to argue in good faith and show everyone who's going to end up opening the thread what an independent thinker you are and just answering the question truthfully.

Why do you care about engagement numbers?

If I was a faggot and enjoyed sucking dick it would be natural for me. But I'm not so I can't give you an honest answer.

Using this to explain why you don't care about engagement numbers in a thread dedicated to engagement numbers is not going to work for your case. Try again.

woah...bad ass,

If I was a faggot and enjoyed sucking dick it would be natural for me. But I'm not so I can't give you an honest answer.

anon, you didn't answer the question. i asked why do you like sucking dick, not whether you suck dick or whatever. please answer the question - why do you like sucking dick?

so freckin grim dark, so fuckin cool.....

5 threads are up in the catalog for engagement based reactions. And you will try to pretend that nobody cares about engagement numbers.

You can't explain this without confronting something base about yourself.

So, back to passive aggressiveness again are we?

This is supposed to prove you're not a woman-brain?

If I was a faggot I would say because it's fun to me. By your logic you are calling everyone ITT a faggot because they care about engagement numbers, yet not yourself. You are the odd one out. Truly a miraculous coincidence that you don't care about engagement numbers yet, we have multiple threads proving otherwise,

So your argument is that nobody cares about engagement numbers while we have 5 threads in the catalog about engagement numbers. is that it?

no, my argument is that you're a fucking retard. answer the question.

You know he gets paid per (You), right? Just ignore him and keep making fun of >Players

Let's see if the independent thinkers realize their stance they banked everything on was a bust and the ragequit the thread now.

You were arguing that my claim that people care about engagement numbers is valid based on the fact that nobody actually cares about engagement numbers, yet we have 5 threads in the catalog right now about those very engagement numbers you claimed aren't important to people.

I see now that we are in the "pretending to be retarded" phase of the independent thinkers where they claim they don't understand the argument to hope that they can escape the mess they've made for themselves.

I already see the other guy abandoned the thread, so I was partly correct on

Let's see if the independent thinkers realize their stance they banked everything on was a bust and the ragequit the thread now.

Everyone else already quit the thread, it's time to let go. Your stance is whittled down to pretending to be retarded and not understanding your own argument or the argument of the discussion.

Yeah, I got annoyed with some of the mechanics after 90 hours so I don't play it any more though.

Don't be dumb. NEW gamepass subscriptions are more important. If people don't stick around then those subs are worth nothing.

Funny how the new goalpost is that Anon Babble doesn't care about engagement numbers when there are 5 threads up for this particular case of engagement number posting

And if you scroll down you can see several steam charts generals always up
You're just trying to misconstrue my stance by pretending that making me admit I'm a faggot is the same as admitting people like engagement numbers "discussion", of which we have ample evidence in the catalog as this very moment, and pretending this is your gotcha moment when in reality it boils down to what I already said

How many posts did he shat ITT? 50? Is he just farming (You)s? Another Pajeet hard at work? Or is it genuine schizoposting?

Should companies count the downloads on the most popular torrents of their games, and add them to the total too?
Pirated copies are also "players".

You will never be White.

Alright faggots, I'm gonna actually play Doom 3 to compare to this new one.

have fun!

Nope I get it, you thought you had an epic gotcha moment when you thought that getting someone to admit they are a homosexual is the same as getting someone to admit they love engagement numbers when the entire catalog is full of engagement numbers discussions, and now you're desperately clinging on to it after I've systematically destroyed all the stances the independent thinkers have held against me, while thinking you secretly have the secret sauce to win the argument you're keeping to yourself which no one of the dozen or so independent thinkers who were forced out of the discussion had.

Don't give a fuck, The Dark Ages lost my interest once I saw it was trying to go for a pseudo-Quake aesthetic without touching Quake.

I will NEVER forgive them for Quake Champions and then leaving my favorite series out in the cold.

you thought you

"so what you were saying was"

LMAOOOOO

Ooh! Me! Pick me! Can I answer? :)

"Players" is marketing speak sure. But why would you compare a paid subscription service to pirating? Tone down the retardation a bit.

You will never be right.

Every other independent thinker who was forced out of this discussion and admitted they just love a bit of woman-brained group think behavior are unironically less woman-brained than you who's still trying to cling to the idea that this argument is secretly about something other than Anon Babble loving engagement number discussions, a very womanly behavior in of itself.

for some reason i can't help but read woman-brain anon posts in a heavy stereotypical russian accent, i don't even know why.

Ask me! Ask me! I want to answer!

i love the fact that you could just have fucked off from the thread like the rest of the people who gave up but you've somehow gaslit yourself into staying here hoping that a magic argument will manifest itself that will refute what i've said now that you quit the retard pretending act

how did palworld manage to score 10 mil players on xbox? That's literally half of the xbox series owners. I mean playstation can barely reach 10 mil sales for their exclusives despite having 75 mil users

the jeet ITT will have to find a new job, horrible work

I can't wait for AAA companies to resort to "X bajillion posts on twitter" or some shit because not even player numbers will end up being a good metric eventually...

But you still haven't asked me :(

players

Grim. Just dire, even.

You already tried the pretending to be retarded act.

We know you tried to refute me at some point but then got knocked into this retard act at some point.

Didn't the last game that used "players" as its metric recently come out to say they only sold 2.4 million copies?

500 BILLION HOURS PLAYED
100 BILLION ENGAGEMENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA
153653 HOURS STREAMED ON TWITCH

We don't have an actual number for AC because Yves outright refused to disclose sales numbers, but estimate say it's around the 2m range yes.

Reminds me of those google search/trends pics some schizo was posting about mmorpgs and their popularity. I wonder if they'll resort to that

dragon age veilguard was a successful game, it satisfied a lot of our internal goals!

Is Ranjeet still here?

goku likes quake?

I havent. I can onlt answer for myself but I need to be sure of the question, so please ask it again.

Would you say it's a return to form?

It makes you feel like the doom.

Any game that has to resort to players rather than sold already comes across as manipulating the figures to look better.
Sales are simple, game is bought, done. There's no way to misinterpret a game selling a million copies in a day.
"Player" numbers can be "extracted" through a bunch of bullshit metrics. A game having a million players could just mean a million people loaded it up once, then dropped it, while having paid nothing specifically for it through gamepass.

Wait so TDA didn't even sell a million copies yet? The fuck?

Like I know Gamepass exists but surely they'd have wanted more sales too?

I would pay money to hear them explain this to the investors

Feels like the doom of the series.

The Doom series is entering its dark age.

Is this series... Doomed?

THAT'S ONE DOOMED SPACE MARINE

A major Microsoft shareholder isn't gonna ask them about the sales of one game.

What the fuck is that forced slowdown effect every fucking time there's an attack on screen? Not even Eternal was this babby-tier.
This isn't Doom anymore.

Depends on how much money was sunk into it.
Also, if one of their subsidiaries is showing considerably less revenue than the rest, they'll notice. Unfortunately, DtDA falls under the same umbrella as the Oblivion Remaster so I doubt it'll be an issue.

players

lol
lmao even
Veilguard said this exact same thing rather than posting actual sales btw

netflix is irrelevant, only bluray sales matter

that's how stupid you sound. you can't ignore a million players just because their marginal price for the game was lower than a standalone copy. yes obviously the more copies they sell the better, just as the more subs they help sell or maintain the better. but just so you know, unit sales are bullshit too if they can just discount them a week after release to move them or bundle them into hardware. the only real figure that matters is company revenue, and only GaaS games ever report that.

Isn't calling out 3 million "players" the same tactic Shadows used?

True sister.
Can't wait for Hifi Rush 2.

You don't understand how stupid you sound. The movie industry banks on box office sales to recoup the costs of production, and they do. If fucking nobody saw it in theaters and just watched it on Netflix, that would be a massive loss for them. They also don't build their entire business model around BD sales like anime does who would also kvetch to no end if enough people didn't buy their BDs.

players

Yeah its why it says players instead of sales

All the bright shiny colours for the zoomies and reddit cucks

Yeesh

Pajeetsoft aren't sending their best.

you can't ignore a million players just because their marginal price for the game was lower than a standalone copy

They didn't sell any copy you nitwit. That's the key difference. It wasn't just lower, it's completely negligible because every game on gamepass has to share some imperceptible proportion of the fee with the rest of the games there. Thats the key benefit of GamePass for microsoft. There's 400 something games on there, and all sales are muddled up and pooled into a big fat business revenue stream that makes it 10x harder to figure out what contributed what.
The whole fucking point of what we're saying is that it's becoming impossible to find solid data on how well a specific game is doing because companies are happier making everything harder to figure out, for consumers and for investors.

unit sales are bullshit too if they can just discount them a week after release to move them or bundle them into hardware

which you should also take into account, and people who aren't retards do. It's also why people want to see how much something sells at it's "peak" before these sales or bundles happen.

the only real figure that matters is company revenue

True in the grand scheme of things but also not what anyone is discussing, That's a fallacy aimed at completely missing the point of discussing the success of specific IPs and games rather than the sum of all games and products from a company.

We're getting a 3 million "players" announcement for every gamepass game in the future oh god

No one is paying 80 dollars for this crap. Even on gamepass more than half of the subscribers didn't play it. Imagine
