Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
hmm I wonder how it sold 20 million copies! that's as much as Spider man and God Of War it's amazing how a new IP out of nowhere manage to do th-
oh yeah
Trophy tracker tells the story you need to know, Horizon Forbidden West's first trophy is a non-missable one which you unlock by default after a 30 minute ish or so intro, only 55% of Horizon players unlocked it which is shockingly low and almost a record by itself for a story/narrative game.
Compared to God Of War Ragnarok's 85% for the first non-missable trophy also 30 minutes into the game.
Not forced at all, totally organic, it sold 5M copies in it's release year then mysteriously "sold" another 5M on the dot on average for 2018, 2019 and 2020. That's rockstar level consistency.
Horizon Forbidden West could sell 50 million copies if Sony really wanted to do by giving it away for free with every PS5 sold from now on, completely meaningless figures, but they have to pump it out the live service is coming and then the movie/hbo series whatever the hell they're working on, the definition of a forced marketed IP.
I have never seen any other game thats bundled so much before
