​

Atomfall looks like a hit, with 1.5 million players reached and, ahem, 300,000 cups of tea drank. It's the most successful launch in Rebellion's 32-year history.​

It's on Gamepass. I want to see the sold numbers, not players.

Spoiler

Since that's what everyone said about Assassins Creed Shadows

Oh boy

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Seems like a solid game, if jank filled, from what I've played. But I'm so fatigued of the "players" metric.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

this game is really good

great studio to support too

but these are not actual sales though.

i mean if its available on gamepass then it sure helps alot in boosting the player count

'playas!'...

damn! i knew that the actual sales figures we got yesterday (monster hunter wilds) would be too good to last...

 

[iamvin22]

These metrics need to stop. That 1.5 number just means downloads. Doesn't even mean if the players even started the game yet.

I need this game to succeed so that they can grow and create a superior game or sequel.

The creativity and vision are there to see, but they were probably hampered by budget.

And there's a ton of games I bought which I never downloaded

Anything on a subscription service is going to quote player counts or other metrics. It doesn't make any sense to do otherwise, it would be like if the music charts still only counted CD and vinyl sales.

Yep. We need more AA games like this.

 

[Durin]

I want to see devs list ala carte sales along with these "player reached" ones.

Still, glad they're having success, and for repeating Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 by releasing a pretty game that doesn't run like crap.

but, seriously: how much friggin' sense does player count itself make? when even the actual amount of player engagement isn't tracked, & all we're really being told about a game is 'this is how many people took the time to download & boot it up'?...

Why do we care at all? Other than wanting something we like to succeed.

It doesn't take a genius to know this game sold like shit. Hopefully that Game Pass check helped cover the loss. I see this game gaining recognition through deep sales on Steam.
