No, bc that can't happen. So no (even if it is yes)So, this is another game available on GamePass day 1, but still manages to sell copies?
This is just steam, but those are also just players online at the same time. It sold way more than 52k.Are these all clean sales or does it include PC Gamepass too?
I never buy games i can play on Gamepass for free, but before even finishing the "tutorial" i bought it on steam and started overSo, this is another game available on GamePass day 1, but still manages to sell copies?
Oh, it was more directed at certain poor performances being attributed to games being available on GP.I never buy games i can play on Gamepass for free, but before even finishing the "tutorial" i bought it on steam and started over
It's just insanely good... it's what the FF remakes should have been.
I really hope this small dev team will get the success they deserve to make a sequel and more awesome games like this.
So far it's the best game i've played in years.
Big budgets and huge teams are the bane of good game development.This one's going to have very long legs i suspect, outselling stuff like Metaphor easily in the long run, bet their next project will have a way bigger budget and the studio will grow quickly.

I'll wait for a few patches to drop since I'm busy with other games, but already bought it and am glad of their success.
Must feel awesome to send a gigantic middle finger to your previous employer by releasing a much better product than theirs in the first try.
That other french developer we all know and love, Ubisoft.Who is the "previous employer"?

Ubisoft is one of the most critically acclaimed, pro consumer, best developers in all of planet earth.That other french developer we all know and love, Ubisoft.
That's like 100x less people than Assassin's creed shadows.Insane that this came from a new 30-person dev team.
It already destroyed Avowed and will probably surpass Veilguard this weekend.
When it comes to software development, adding people to a dev team doesn't necessarily means that the team will perform more. In many cases, management can become a hell and I'm sure that's what's happening in many AAA companies.Insane that this came from a new 30-person dev team.

Sometimes, yes, but some recent masterpieces come from studios that were small not long ago, KCD2, Baldurs Gate 3, Cyberpunk..Big budgets and huge teams are the bane of good game development.
Stay lean and stay small so you have a team who are all bought in to the overall vision.

This was me before seeing it score so high in the reviews,Paid no attention to it dueto the name not resonating but after the reviews I actually started checking out the trailers and info on the game and I basically was like this as I was doing it:Awesome! I though the game was going to fail due to the title alone but I'm glad to see I was wrong.
Some of the team are ex-Ubisoft.
Yeah Microsoft really fucked them over with that Oblivion shadow drop...they seriously couldn't wait till first week of May to drop it?! Shameful act by them.Love that this game is doing well.
However... still annoyed that Microsoft seemingly had the marketing deal for this game, knew when it was coming out, and still did a full Oblivion unveil and release 2 days before it came out. That's not how you treat your partners.
Sony purchased marketing rights for Alan Wake 2, a miracle game that shouldn't exist, and then turned around and scheduled Spider-Man 2 for the same week forcing Alan Wake to delay.Love that this game is doing well.

You already beat the game?Sorry Xenoblade Chronicles X, this is my new top spot for GOTY

Honestly, the first two hours of this game has been an overall more enjoyable experience than the 120 total hours I've spent with XCX.You already beat the game?
Well it's a good game that's on 2 platforms that actually sells softwareSo, this is another game available on GamePass day 1, but still manages to sell copies?
