Somewhat ridiculous characterization. Did it perform under expectations? Following worry from the Avengers flop, yeah, of course. It was still the seventh best selling game in the US at one point, which isn’t small, and did better in other countries. Hardly “nobody.”
And yet, to say “nobody bought it” is still ridiculous. These stupid exchanges wouldn’t happen to begin with if people didn’t engage in useless hyperbole.
sure, ok. seems like that’s what you’re doing but go off, dude.
edit: As a reminder, what’s actually being discussed are non-live service games that were well received and enjoyed, and by any other metric than sales, including that recognized in your own reply, GotG qualifies. If it hadn’t been preceded by the Avengers, and associated concerns, it likely would have sold much better, and “nobody bought it” is still flat out wrong.
The hyperbole is still dumb and unnecessary even in this context, considering stats such as debuting at #2 in the UK. It may have sold below the inflated corporate expectations, but it still sold a respectable amount.
I mean, seriously, is it really that hard to say “it didn’t sell enough”?
