How much would MS have to pay for that? $200 million?
It's possible, but honestly I think Baldur's Gate appeal on consoles is wildly exaggerated. This site is for hardcore gamers and I think the OT since PS5 release advanced like 6 pages, including lots of PC players still talking about it in those 6 pages. And PS5 userbase is bigger than Xbox also. Literally Lies of P was talked about more on here on consoles. The Exoprimal OT got to 8 pages even, and it was mostly just 4 people talking about the game. It's in the top downloads chart for September, but can anyone tell me any kind of rough estimate of how many digital copies that would be?
And apparently it sucks to play on controller. Awesome, can't wait. Really no excuse when Age of Empires 2 functions extremely well on controller now.
But yeah, we know some of the big 3rd party stuff can reach $200 million. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was less than that, but that's not really my problem. It will definitely be higher than that initial leaked estimate, but no idea what the number would be.
