Maybe something else that isn’t all about gaming maybe something else besides there’s many more games people can play rather than just trash games like concord
13:00 "deeply meaningful to us" thats the problem right there they made game for themselves and crying no one want to buy it they should blame lgbt audiences for not supporting this but they cant so instead lets blame everyone else even tho they said game is not for themit feels like they locked themselves in quite a predicament cus their hate towards gamers for not liking or not playing or calling them all the names under the sun wont get them nothing anyways, they will just hope for next pack of taxpayers money to make propaganda
Or games that took IRL political issues from a different time period and made it a 'spinoff' point to launch a game series with a fictional city, and the politics take a back seat to the gameplay. *CoughCoughBioshockCough*
@@bobblacklodge They still think they're on the "right side of history". But the pendulum is already swinging against their far-leftist, red fascism. And it's about damn time.
Dustborn: "Your days are numbered, white man." The players: "Wow...that's uh... pretty racist." Dustborn devs: "Why won't people have thoughtful dialogue with us?!"
We have the power. We are the consumer. They want our money. We don’t need them. They need us. Never forget that. Keep woke, DEI and politics out of video games and Give us what we want or you’ll go bankrupt. End of discussion 👍
It has to stop the moment they are insulting their potential customers. You did a bad game? Take the L and move on instead of insulting everybody with -ism and trying to be victim!
What's interesting is that producers NEVER blame their own tribe for these failings, but the tribe that they're trying to "convert." Nowhere will you read criticism of the progressive-Left community for failing to support the product, but you will read plenty about so-called alt-Right istaphobes for "online hate campaigns." Which leads one to ask: why is it so important that those people consume your product, but utterly unimportant that the people who already agree with your politics are ignoring your product? I think we all know the answer already...
Makes me proud my fellow gamers don’t want politics, DEI, and micro transactions to dominate our space. We don’t want to be lectured, pandered to, or treated like a wallet. We won’t be manipulated, we just want fun games. Not Propaganda. Love you guys
@@DestinyZX1NO NO bros that's EXACTLY how Dustborn spawned. Like y'all said it's in game, I didn't sign up for that shit. If their writers wasn't fuckin' hacks then maybe the message would have been subtle and layered with complementing themes. Not just throw a controller in my hands and brainwash me.
@@NotNowNorth But there is a way to do it well. MANY games have political themes. There aren't many human stories you can tell without dipping into politics. Mass Effect was drenched in it as is Final Fantasy to name a few. Its the HOW that matters. The assumption is politics automatically means leftist and that's not true.
well we do want pandering we just want the badass kind that stays true to the heros journey and is a fictional story that is relatable to everybody regardless of how they look and who they wanna bang wukong is more relatable to all of mankind because the urge to return to monkey is in all of mankind not this woke slop
Taxpayer funded woke content is the ultimate goal. You don't have to worry about appealing to people and being profitable when they are forced at gunpoint to pay you no matter what.
Well Ubisoft, red thread and firewalk studios got the modern audience that they wanted but unfortunately those people don’t support them financially but only on social media
The "modern audience" is basically a couple hundred people on twitter and an army of bot accounts. So they DID get their modern audience. They just didn't realize how small it really was, because the bot accounts don't buy your product, just upvote it.
Sony is going to get even weirder because they know what the problem is, but they're going to have to somehow fix it without looking like they know what the problem is.
The governments will cut off their funding to them when the realize that they are not making anything on top of how long it takes to make a single video game. Plus not to mention all of the times that the government tried to ban video games and they failed twice and the government hates lawsuits and there will be plenty of them if even try to spread it out.
Unfortunately America is going bankrupt, luckily most Americans haven’t realized it and have their heads in the clouds, once they learn the reality the house of cards will fall.
They don't need an industry analyst to find out why their game bombed. The game was woke garbage, even highly esteemed IPs that go woke sell significantly less than they normally would, with the only reason they stay afloat is due to brand recognition.
I watched a little bit of the opening of dustborn. I laughed when the "fascist police" ordered them to play a song after crossing the border. They knew their identities, let them play, listened to their propaganda, told them they sucked, and just left. If this game was made for "detecting misinformation," was the whole game supposed to be misinformation? Were we just supposed to figure out it was BS?
Honestly this game is WILD. It’s like someone from “the right” made this as a troll - parody. It’s beyond parody at this point. WOW. “We’re open to debate” *turns off comments and makes the message private*
I mean true, it's so dumb from the protagonist completely psychotic on a trip power and dialogue. It's impossible to greenlight this... Or it's an insult for the public they want
The problem going on right now is the game companies are following a similar path that movie streaming services followed because when Netflix showed it was the best of the best everyone wanted a piece of the pie and then it became oversaturated and right now the live service gaming is facing the same thing.
I think some YTuber mention this, "These company is like big ship on the sea, it take time to steer away from hitting iceberg." Thing is.. Why is it every gosh dang game company not see other hit the shiet iceberg and avoid going the same route is beyond me..
Isnt it funny how they keep making these games for the "modern audience" they insist are out there and ARE the majority, yet somehow they magically never NEVER turn up to buy the things made for the mythical "modern audience" 😂😂😂😂
Video game playing is traditionally about ‘escapism’. If I want to be a soldier and fight with weapons I don’t normally shoot with then ‘’Yes”, if I want to be a wizard casting spells then ‘’Yes’’; I just want to zone out and get away from real life issues for a couple hours. Do I want to be reminded of this current and ‘modern’ clown-world we live in while I am attempting ‘escapism’ “NO”. I’m not paying for any of this and so should you. We should try as a community to ban together and speak with our wallets. Then and only then, will they learn.
"misinformation" I think they are using that word wrongly... *Propaganda* should be the word or am I wrong? And indeed the clowning of "don't use hate on us" while having a game story with that as de-facto weapon is just mindbogglingly ironic.
"am I wrong?" Well it depends. Propaganda is intentional. Misinformation could be as a simple as being wrong because they read the source material wrong etc. But in these games - all propaganda.
@@TommyDavidVerbal the games coming out were already in development when the woke ideology was "mainstream" now the winds are shifting drastically and they are stuck releasing these bombs.......
I remember watching the Volition devs for Saints Row (2006) talking about their love for the work they put into it and, how awesome and fun it was to get actual Hip-Hop Industry people to help with making the game feel more authentic. I miss that passion man...
The main character has a super power tailor made to be a villain. It would have been incredibly interesting if she was constantly fighting against the temptation to use it for selfish/evil purposes but, no, they just have her lean into full villain mode and seems devs weren't even aware of how it came off
There is no correcting or fixing this - right now there are 61 people on steam - that is barely enough to fill one match in each Q. Better to call middle earth and request a necromancer be sent over to raise this corpse.
In Dustborn you play as a villain who hurts and manipulates those around them, even their friends aren't safe from their toxicity. If the devs thought this was a good role model or a paragon of moral behaviour they are so far gone.
Game I know of that put player in shoes of bad person is "OverLord' but the game itself didn't take itself seriously and well.. it's fantasy.. This one.. fuuh.. it's hit way.. to close being real life.. It's a mess up game for sure.
@pc14thenumber9 Playing as the bad guy in Overlord worked, because it was completely unmistakable that you were evil. They didn't try hiding it, or make you out to be the "good guy". Sure, there were times you could do somewhat "good" things, but you still murdered and subjugated entire towns with reckless abandon. Dustborn? They're trying to make the cruel, heartless, evil, monstrous, abusive f-ckwads out to be the undeniable good guys. This would be like having the Overlord called" the good guy" while sitting on a throne made of corpses he made.
Fascinating times we are living in. Every time these sorts of scandal blew up in the past 4-5 years, information surfaces regarding these companies and how they are receiving money from the government and its employer. More and more people understand the big picture. Something will break...
Money talks in the gaming industry, our wallet dictates the outcome of game releases. We didn't ask for nor want games with forced DEI when it does not belong.
Saw an ad for Concord before all the drama. Said to myself "What is this piece s***". Looks terrible, marketing materials terrible, gameplay terrible, characters terrible. It's a game designed for people that don't play games in first place.
To me I’m more shocked of games getting tax pays… like when did F did I agree to my money going to woke garbage games??? I don’t want my money going to that mofos!!!
They even banned half of the World from buying it. And rest of developing countries they charge triple of AAA price. Can you imaging charging $180-$210 for this excrement in USA?
Live service online multiplayer-only hero shooter with Marvel-esque characters, "witty" self-aware dialogue, and "preferred pronouns. Peak 'current year'. Also, a concord developer thought the way to bolter a ridiculously bad launch was to call players "talentless freaks". Perhaps he should retake business 101. Attacking and insulting your own customers is one of the weirdest modern Western trends.
@@the_fool_of_space sure, says the ppl who claim diversity is being shoved down their throats… you hate black and lgbtq characters that much that any time they are in a game is considered DEI? it sounds like you only want straight white ppl as the default character… racist much?
agreed, i mean some diversity here and there can be okay, but only as long as it feels natural/not forced and have good gameplay, sadly those things are rare in many western AAA games now-a-days
Suicide Squad was the one that set the avalanch off. Concord, Flintlock, Dustborn, Tales of Kenzera, Saints Row, Shadow Gambit, and Star Wars Outlaws are the true definitions of Go Woke, Go Broke. With Assassin's Creed Shadows sweating nervously like that meme. 🤣
"LEECH We have learned how to LEECH taxes. LEECH gives us the ability to siphon tax money away from projects that could actually benefit people and put it into our parasitic pockets."
For a multiplayer game, the lack of online players will impact purchases even further. Even if some people like the game, they won’t want to buy it if it’s hard to find a group cause there’s only 500 people online.
Dustborn, that game from the first sentence felt like they took what is currently happening and thought "hey let's make a game and teach everyone how to bully other kids in school". The song made me think so fast that they are stalkers and stuff.
They're going to chase that live service audience right off the cliff. There's already more than enough games to keep everyone happy and you have to produce a good quality product if you want to steal people off of your competition.
To be fair, I expected more sales. There's an awful lot of normies out there. Remember that while Bud Light sales are down, they're still far from zero. They're maybe 50% of what they used to be
Wait, their target audience didn’t show up to buy Concord? It’s almost as if said target audience either don’t have much money to spend on games or it’s just a very small market. Shocking
Dustborn is a Evil people simulator, where the goal is victory, and lying, gaslighting, cheating, and trampling on others dignity are all valid tactics to attain your goal, all while proclaiming the moral high ground.
It is not made for people to sell. It was made for investors to spread the agenda. And their investors are literally printing money, so it was never about profit.
I agree on making them illegal, but these snakes would just find other ways. Already we are seeing Day 1 paywalled content and games offering various price tiers for different benefits including early access to the game..
That's silly, I hate micro transactions as much as anyone. But having the government make it illegal? The only reason they exist is because of gamers , just stop buying them. And they are, live service games are dying, single player games are making a comeback. Keep the financial pressure on, gamers have ALL the power.
micro transactions when done in moderation in free to play game are a great way to get your game in everyone's hands. What you need is for game devs to not mix both monetization setups. If micro trans were illegal we would never get your candy crushes, angry birds, fortnite, etc. Dont be a moron
@@mkocel Micro transactions but with in-game currency. And use said currency for monthly subs like Eve Online does/used to. Same as using Xbox points to pay for Game Pass.
Did Dustborn steal a great deal of its backstory from 'Brave New World'? The tabletop rpg game about superheroes in an alternate future where JFK survived his assassination attempt (but Jackie didn't) and became more or less a fascist? Even has super powers that.
2:34 "Plenty of games don't sell well at launch." That's an accurate "journalistic" statement because it's not saying anything about those same games becoming good sells, it just says that they don't sell good at launch, which also means that it will flop.
8 years of development. 16 uninteresting characters, a few stages - that's it. What did they actually do for the past 8 years cause this game ain't it?
Basically? They got paid to do minimum work each day. Or, you know, someone in charge (likely several) was pocketing the money, likely via 'business expenses'.
@@redrevolver4272 It went something like 3 yrs in, the called in "consultants" for the modern audience. That took a year, then they had to go back and rework all the characters voice overs and everything. Then COVID hit that hurt them by at least a year or 2. and Bam here they are.
so basically, like with sweet baby inc, we need a site that tells us which games the government have funded, aka which games i will never entertain a thought of again
The real problem here is that these people still think we live in the pandemic era , so they think the game tourists and normies are still playing videogames… ahem modern audience anyone? Yes? No? Oh well, I’ll give you a tip. Gamers took back videogames. You want money? Cater to us and not them. It’s very simple.
Her obliviousness is hilarious 😂, this is absolutely insane. The gaming community been screaming where it went wrong for long time, and yet somehow they can’t figure it out.
We tried to tell them there was no market for these kind of games. In return they slandered us and insulted us, told us not to buy it. Then slandered us even more when we did what they asked. Any business that takes for granted it's existing customer base to chase different kind of customer, a more 'modern customer', had better make damn sure this customer is ready to hand over the money I was going to. If not, that's entirely on their shoulders. It's their own arrogance and ignorance and hypocracy. I won't be chastised for not buying a game they told me not to buy. Who do they think they are exactly. The absolute cheek of it. Maybe financial ruin might teach them some manners. Although I get the impressions they even if they ended up a tramp on the street, they'd still never accept responsibility for their own downfall. Tragic. For them.
This is proof we were right. If any company dares to release a woke game 3 years from now they deserve to be shut down, plenty of examples show this shit doesn't work.
I knew I had to buy Elden Ring the moment I saw the trailer. Same with the DLC. Other than that, I haven't been excited about a game in years. It's a shame.
Constructive criticism is always accepted hate speech and threats are not The thing is they don't get any hate speech they get constructive criticism they just don't want to hear it And you can tell with the feedback and the actual purchase numbers that dust born is using bots to like their tweets.
1220 people on playstation have gotten the achievement "get your first takedown" Which means, only 1220 people actually bought it on PSN and 660 on steam. Not even 2000 copies were sold.
Good observation. But there are the 2 or 3 outliers that bought this game but haven't installed it yet or gifted it to people that'll likely never touch it.
Yeah, the claim that 25000 people bought it is a pretty obvious lie. If less than 10% of your claimed numbers have an achievement that you'd get literally in the first 20-30m of playing the game, that means you're either grossly overestimating your numbers, or over 90% of your playerbase dropped the game in less than a half-hour. Either one is sad.
@@wumpusrat That's why they're going to target Steam charts/numbers eventually to disable the public sourcing a counter to their narratives that their games sold higher than they claim. Look at the hoops people have to jump through just to estimate console numbers (looking at achievements). That's what they want for steam. . . the only source the public have for reliable and immediate numbers. It's just one obstacle for big returns for them so Steam numbers are a ripe vector for attack.

The main character of Dustborn is an actual lunatic.
In Dustborn you play as a villain who hurts and manipulates those around them, even their friends aren't safe from their toxicity. If the devs thought this was a good role model or a paragon of moral behaviour they are so far gone.
Game I know of that put player in shoes of bad person is "OverLord' but the game itself didn't take itself seriously and well.. it's fantasy..
This one.. fuuh.. it's hit way.. to close being real life.. It's a mess up game for sure.
@pc14thenumber9
Playing as the bad guy in Overlord worked, because it was completely unmistakable that you were evil. They didn't try hiding it, or make you out to be the "good guy". Sure, there were times you could do somewhat "good" things, but you still murdered and subjugated entire towns with reckless abandon.
Dustborn? They're trying to make the cruel, heartless, evil, monstrous, abusive f-ckwads out to be the undeniable good guys. This would be like having the Overlord called" the good guy" while sitting on a throne made of corpses he made.
@@dragonmaster1360 Thing was Overlord was comically evil and you knew it going in.
Fascinating times we are living in. Every time these sorts of scandal blew up in the past 4-5 years, information surfaces regarding these companies and how they are receiving money from the government and its employer. More and more people understand the big picture. Something will break...
Money talks in the gaming industry, our wallet dictates the outcome of game releases. We didn't ask for nor want games with forced DEI when it does not belong.
Concord has a really high ESG score from Blackrock, so you can expect their loss to be covered by tax payer dollars.
10000 copies sold... to blackrock. never to be played
40 x 100,000 = 400,000
Cost 100,000,000
Probably not going to be enough blackrock money to bail them out on this one.
@@nickcarroll8565Concord is ❤. Haters gonna hate!!
Saw an ad for Concord before all the drama. Said to myself "What is this piece s***". Looks terrible, marketing materials terrible, gameplay terrible, characters terrible. It's a game designed for people that don't play games in first place.
To me I’m more shocked of games getting tax pays… like when did F did I agree to my money going to woke garbage games??? I don’t want my money going to that mofos!!!
They even banned half of the World from buying it. And rest of developing countries they charge triple of AAA price. Can you imaging charging $180-$210 for this excrement in USA?
Once things have finally calmed down, we will be able to talk about good entertainment again
I hope we do get truly good entertainment again.
Eventually
Oi vey
If there's any left.
nah GTA 6 is gonna drop with an all new lgbtbbq PlayStation bundle
The four Knight of the Awokalypse : Concord, Dustborn, Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows
If the shoe fits. Stay away from the bundles of sticks
Live service online multiplayer-only hero shooter with Marvel-esque characters, "witty" self-aware dialogue, and "preferred pronouns.
Peak 'current year'.
Also, a concord developer thought the way to bolter a ridiculously bad launch was to call players "talentless freaks". Perhaps he should retake business 101.
Attacking and insulting your own customers is one of the weirdest modern Western trends.
A 'Modern Audience' want gameplay not have DiverSitY shoved down our throats time and time again and good riddance to these companies
Screw the modern audience doesn’t exist
“diversity shoved down our throats” sorry all games don’t have straight yt men as the default 😂 it’s fun watching you meltdown though
@@adrianxx22 racist much?
@@the_fool_of_space sure, says the ppl who claim diversity is being shoved down their throats… you hate black and lgbtq characters that much that any time they are in a game is considered DEI? it sounds like you only want straight white ppl as the default character… racist much?
agreed, i mean some diversity here and there can be okay, but only as long as it feels natural/not forced and have good gameplay, sadly those things are rare in many western AAA games now-a-days
!FIGHT THE POWER!… The power of the flower people!
Dustbin, the ultimate bully simulator. And they say they are the good guys hahaha 😆
Yep. Was just thinking before reading your comment that “Dustbin” is the perfect name for it.
Pretty soon, the government will make playing these games mandatory.
I'm happy we have TWO concurrent woke disaster games right now 😂
Concord and Dustbored
3 😂
I forgot Outlaws
And dont forget the upcoming bbc gay samoorai
Expect a lot more to come to the graveyard!
Suicide Squad was the one that set the avalanch off.
Concord, Flintlock, Dustborn, Tales of Kenzera, Saints Row, Shadow Gambit, and Star Wars Outlaws are the true definitions of Go Woke, Go Broke. With Assassin's Creed Shadows sweating nervously like that meme. 🤣
heh... gonecord
10:22 they do have money, their allowance given by their parents every month but they spent it all on starbucks, drugs and apple products
"LEECH
We have learned how to LEECH taxes.
LEECH gives us the ability to siphon tax money away from projects that could actually benefit people and put it into our parasitic pockets."
oooooooooohhh 🤫
For a multiplayer game, the lack of online players will impact purchases even further. Even if some people like the game, they won’t want to buy it if it’s hard to find a group cause there’s only 500 people online.
This should make it clear
When we say we dont want it, we dont want it
Dustborn, that game from the first sentence felt like they took what is currently happening and thought "hey let's make a game and teach everyone how to bully other kids in school".
The song made me think so fast that they are stalkers and stuff.
What do you mean disaster?
The *ENTIRE* modern audience is playing it as we speak!
They're going to chase that live service audience right off the cliff. There's already more than enough games to keep everyone happy and you have to produce a good quality product if you want to steal people off of your competition.
*what is crazy is that EVERYONE knew it was trash*
*yet some people still bought...*
Mostly just streamers to laugh at it and make chat crinch though...
If I had all the money in the world, and have bought all the things I want or need. I would still not buy these products.
To be fair, I expected more sales. There's an awful lot of normies out there. Remember that while Bud Light sales are down, they're still far from zero. They're maybe 50% of what they used to be
Wait, their target audience didn’t show up to buy Concord? It’s almost as if said target audience either don’t have much money to spend on games or it’s just a very small market. Shocking
This is so bad they can't even cope, only seethe LOL!
Dustborn is a Evil people simulator, where the goal is victory, and lying, gaslighting, cheating, and trampling on others dignity are all valid tactics to attain your goal, all while proclaiming the moral high ground.
Why in gods name would they produce a game encouraging you to make others feel bad when they can’t even take criticism 🤣
It is not made for people to sell. It was made for investors to spread the agenda. And their investors are literally printing money, so it was never about profit.
I wish I was in every gaming dev team meeting just to say: "Modern audience? Oh, you mean those 56 people playing Concord?"
dustborn: to our community...
us: so this community, is it in the room with us right now?
We need to make micro transactions illegal. If we did that, most developers would put their hearts and souls into their games.
I agree on making them illegal, but these snakes would just find other ways. Already we are seeing Day 1 paywalled content and games offering various price tiers for different benefits including early access to the game..
They lost their hearts and souls so they won’t find them
That's silly, I hate micro transactions as much as anyone. But having the government make it illegal? The only reason they exist is because of gamers , just stop buying them. And they are, live service games are dying, single player games are making a comeback. Keep the financial pressure on, gamers have ALL the power.
micro transactions when done in moderation in free to play game are a great way to get your game in everyone's hands. What you need is for game devs to not mix both monetization setups. If micro trans were illegal we would never get your candy crushes, angry birds, fortnite, etc. Dont be a moron
@@mkocel Micro transactions but with in-game currency. And use said currency for monthly subs like Eve Online does/used to. Same as using Xbox points to pay for Game Pass.
Wow and Sony has tripled down on GAAS 😂😂😂😂 Marathon seems to be the next disappointment.
Remember 'counter disinformation' just means 'our disinformation'
This video has more viewers than Concord and Dustborn players combined. Great work as always ENDYMION!
I predict the same happens to Outlaws
Never mind that Outlaws is woke garbage, that game is an absolute broken mess that makes Cyberpunk day 1 on PS4 look good.
Did Dustborn steal a great deal of its backstory from 'Brave New World'? The tabletop rpg game about superheroes in an alternate future where JFK survived his assassination attempt (but Jackie didn't) and became more or less a fascist? Even has super powers that.
Lets not forget that the devs themselves loved playing it so how many of the players are just devs
2:34 "Plenty of games don't sell well at launch."
That's an accurate "journalistic" statement because it's not saying anything about those same games becoming good sells, it just says that they don't sell good at launch, which also means that it will flop.
8 years of development.
16 uninteresting characters, a few stages - that's it.
What did they actually do for the past 8 years cause this game ain't it?
That’s my biggest question.
1) it’s not open world… its maps….
2) the character design… or lack there of
3) how do you spend 8 years thinking, “Yea!!”
Basically? They got paid to do minimum work each day. Or, you know, someone in charge (likely several) was pocketing the money, likely via 'business expenses'.
@@redrevolver4272 It went something like 3 yrs in, the called in "consultants" for the modern audience. That took a year, then they had to go back and rework all the characters voice overs and everything. Then COVID hit that hurt them by at least a year or 2. and Bam here they are.
@@spartanx169x unfortunate for the team who created it
so basically, like with sweet baby inc, we need a site that tells us which games the government have funded, aka which games i will never entertain a thought of again
How dare the consumer that decides how to spend their hard earned money…decides how to spend their hard earned money. 😂
You know what Sony'll take from this lesson? "New, independent IPs are fruitless. Live service games are the only way to go" Just like what Disney did
@almightytwinkie2171
If they do, it just proves they need to go bankrupt, because it was a live service game that failed...
The real problem here is that these people still think we live in the pandemic era , so they think the game tourists and normies are still playing videogames… ahem modern audience anyone? Yes? No? Oh well, I’ll give you a tip. Gamers took back videogames. You want money? Cater to us and not them. It’s very simple.
So seriously the real question is... when's Concord 2 coming out👀.
The Best way to tell if the government is lying to you is if they are talking
Her obliviousness is hilarious 😂, this is absolutely insane. The gaming community been screaming where it went wrong for long time, and yet somehow they can’t figure it out.
I didnt think a game could be worse than Concord then I saw Dustborn
Dustbin
We tried to tell them there was no market for these kind of games.
In return they slandered us and insulted us, told us not to buy it.
Then slandered us even more when we did what they asked.
Any business that takes for granted it's existing customer base to chase different kind of customer, a more 'modern customer', had better make damn sure this customer is ready to hand over the money I was going to.
If not, that's entirely on their shoulders. It's their own arrogance and ignorance and hypocracy. I won't be chastised for not buying a game they told me not to buy. Who do they think they are exactly. The absolute cheek of it. Maybe financial ruin might teach them some manners. Although I get the impressions they even if they ended up a tramp on the street, they'd still never accept responsibility for their own downfall.
Tragic. For them.
This is proof we were right. If any company dares to release a woke game 3 years from now they deserve to be shut down, plenty of examples show this shit doesn't work.
So dustborn devs go on how they want a world where people feel safe to speak but then silence people who speak out against their game.
I knew I had to buy Elden Ring the moment I saw the trailer. Same with the DLC. Other than that, I haven't been excited about a game in years. It's a shame.
Sell what only 1% of people want, only do 1% of the sales. Free market, baby.
Constructive criticism is always accepted hate speech and threats are not
The thing is they don't get any hate speech they get constructive criticism they just don't want to hear it
And you can tell with the feedback and the actual purchase numbers that dust born is using bots to like their tweets.
Pretty soon these woke devs will get to enjoy an age old communist past time. The bread line.
1220 people on playstation have gotten the achievement "get your first takedown"
Which means, only 1220 people actually bought it on PSN
and 660 on steam.
Not even 2000 copies were sold.
Good observation. But there are the 2 or 3 outliers that bought this game but haven't installed it yet or gifted it to people that'll likely never touch it.
Yeah, the claim that 25000 people bought it is a pretty obvious lie.
If less than 10% of your claimed numbers have an achievement that you'd get literally in the first 20-30m of playing the game, that means you're either grossly overestimating your numbers, or over 90% of your playerbase dropped the game in less than a half-hour.
Either one is sad.
@@wumpusrat That's why they're going to target Steam charts/numbers eventually to disable the public sourcing a counter to their narratives that their games sold higher than they claim. Look at the hoops people have to jump through just to estimate console numbers (looking at achievements). That's what they want for steam. . . the only source the public have for reliable and immediate numbers. It's just one obstacle for big returns for them so Steam numbers are a ripe vector for attack.
The game requires you to login to PlayStation on Steam too so those people got the trophy
@@Tyschlorp that makes this even worse XD
