@_ZeroG_2@sweetanita No, it doesn't. If there's 1 million people and 2% practice SH, that's 20,000 people practicing SH. Then you'd expect a population of 10 million to have 200,000 people practicing self harm and the percentage would still be 2%. Instead it's 10%, or 1 million people.
@agirlandagame You can always tell that they were never fans of the games they claim are "going woke." Dragon Age has been what they'd call woke since 2008. They just didn't have stupid manosphere creators to tell them to be mad about it. Right wing grifters making so much money breaking brains
@agirlandagame They keep telling on themselves too, claiming a game is woke while knowing nothing about it besides a character model. Dragon Age is just their current target and they're such miserable fucks that they look for content to yell about.
@terminallyOL Black people and some conspiracy theory about SweetBabyInc changing all games to make them woke because they're either Jewish or some other force in White Replacement bullshit. Short version, racism.
@truthnonfiction@MessmersSoldier@MightyKeef That's more what I meant by having more mass appeal. It struck a chord with more of the players that bought it and finishing a game gives it more weight in your mind when thinking on it later. That was reflected in the discourse in 2018 where many got bored by RDR2's slower pace.
@truthnonfiction@MessmersSoldier@MightyKeef Yeah, it sold well, but many people stopped playing. According to Xbox achievements & PSN trophies only about 81% finished Chapter 1 and about 40% finished the story. Compared to GoW 94% got the first story trophy and 69% finished the story. So far more experienced the full game
@Pee_Doggy @MightyKeef Yeah, that's how most single player games are. Now even most multiplayer games lose steam quickly. People move on to the new shiny thing or go back to their favorite Games as a Service they've dumped 1000 hours into within a couple weeks.
@UEGShadowAngel@MightyKeef@Young_N_lazy It Takes Two took a month to break 1 million sales and won GOTY 2021. Sales are a factor only in that it needs to sell well enough for people to have an opinion on it.
@truthnonfiction@MessmersSoldier@MightyKeef GOW had more mass appeal than RDR2. The much slower pace of RDR2 made a lot of people give up on it early. So while, RDR2 might be a better game, the public perception was less positive than GOW
