    Sssoooooo… they can’t fathom that the millions that bought it aren’t the same people as the tens of millions that made fun of it?

    How do these people run companies?

  • The people who pushed back against it, like myself, didn’t buy the damn thing lol

    Game sells millions of copies, but only a few tens of thousands of people online publicly spoke out about it. 🙄 Even in the largest spaces, the majority of us in forums and social media are barely a blip in the total number of people playing and buying things in the game.

    Nesmith said he no longer remembers the exact sales figures for the add-on, but he remembers it being a lot. “It must have been in the millions, it had to be millions,” he said.

    So… No accounting for how many of these sales came from bundles/GOTY editions, and we are just going off his memory of the sales numbers?

    Great reporting, this really vindicated Horse Armor’s legacy…

    ‘You’re all making fun of it and yet you buy it’

    No, those are two different groups. Gamers ™ are not a monolithic block. Some like it, some hate it, some in between. To lump that all together is moronic.

        Most Outspoken Gamerstm nowadays don’t even play the games they’re being outspoken about. Look at all the clowns calling Ghost of Yotei “woke” for having a female protagonist when Tsushima already had multiple female warriors.

    Didn’t Xbox ask Bethesda to charge 10 as they were already selling themes for about that much?
