Who cares about sales? Microsoft don’t. It’s ALL about engagement numbers. This is the future Microsoft wants so you had better get used to it.

Thing is unless MS seeing subs go up significantly, all things doing is basically pouring money down the drain.
Microsoft conditioned their users not to purchase games. And as observed they hasn’t been a great proposition overall.
The only thing that may have moved the sub numbers would be CoD at this point. I wonder if MS will release any interesting info on that.

So because Gamepass is there you just gobble it up instead of stopping this bullshit practise and send a message to Microsoft that subscriptions are not great for gaming? No, why would anyone wanna do that?!?
And why is that? Also, I don't care. It's not for me to worry about. MS put this game on GamePass, I'm a gamepass ultimate subscriber. Why would I purchase it. Its not my fault if Gamepass can't carry the studio, It's MS and they can and should be blamed if the studio closes due to their business incompetence.
I just think its dumb to report on this stuff when the first quoted comment is the reason why. It's obvious why it doesnt have the same pre orders as the dragon age game thats on all platforms and not on GamePass. Journalists really are the stupidest hacks these days.
I hope this game flops hard, and that, much like COD, they don’t get anymore subscribers to their rental service.

I care, i grew up on Indy and didn't mind the newer movies, obviously nowhere near the originals but watchable, as for this game, ill judge it when it comes out and after the utter evisceration of Dragon Age because the They/Cunt game director tried to shoehorn in his pathetically embarrassing modern politics into the game id like to think the suits will reign in any of that nonsense and remove it from this game and simply release a decent Indy adventure

Your master said Gamepiss increases sales.
No thanks. We can now see that undercutting game prices also undercuts quality. How Machine Games went from Wolfenstein to this is just pathetic. Go ahead and adjust to more substandard games by yourself.
The general interest of the public in the IP is low as proved by the latest movie.
This game was probably initially scheduled to take advantage of a game/movie synergy but it's now pointless.
On Xbox most people will give it a try on GP just to move on after 1h, the PS5 version might actually move some units given that the Uncharted/Tomb Raider fanbase is there but only if the game reviews really well (85+ metacritic) otherwise the delayed launch will ruin sales on PS5 as well if the game is just mid.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Unknown website -> cites 'Retail insider'.
Kinda surprised that an older member like U Unknown Soldier would fall for this kind of stuff.

The last good Indiana Jones movie was The Last Crusade and that came out over 35 years ago. Food for thought.

I could play it on gamepass tho. But I'll wait till it hits Playstation.

It's sad to see. It's so obvious clickbait.

They should have done a bond game but I guess the Hitman guys have the rights.
I hope Indy is good. Give me a reason to actually use my Series X lol.
Any source is good if the goal is the desired one..... The same font would be ridiculed if it were used with a different object and in another direction..... even by the same OP
It's typical to see things like that in Neogaf.

It's on GAMEPASS
So your motivation when you turn on your console isn’t to play games, but to wank on about finances of business conglomerates?
Why would any of this be a source of trauma and worry for you? You’re praying it flops because of an optional subscription service?
lmao

Yeah, I quoted you but my post was directed more towards the person you quoted.
I was just too lazy to scroll up further.

I had a sneaking suspicion that literally nobody gave a shit about this game but I guess now we have confirmation. I don't know anyone who is excited about this game, and that's implying most people even know it exists. Which they don't, actually now that I think about it
And for the few people who do know it exists...

Yes, having that weirdo trying to promote this game for ‘Modern Audiences’ definitely didn’t help. I would also say that it is a day one gamepass game so there goes any potential sales or preorders from many people.

Sounds like you have a boner against the IP/game and decided to use some random website’s headline to bolster your view about it.
It’s okay if you don’t want to play it. Citing these kinds of “sources” though? Kinda sad.

The game looks lame, the IP is dead, and it's on gamepass.
The only hope this game and the dev studio has is PS5.

Who the fuck is fandom pulse....This site is worse then twitter, making thread just for clickbait and drama.

Because the PS5 owners love "lame games" or what are you implying?
Platform warriors constantly forgetting Steam/PC exists is always hilarious

apparently a single ‘retail insider’ has preorder numbers for all storefronts across the globe!

Most Indy games weren't really all that good either.

To be fair, that very fact is likely having an effect on the pre-orders. If it wasn't for the PS5 release, I would have pre-ordered the Series version.

It's on Gamepass.
If there any willing to purchase it, they may wait for it to come to Playstation/Playstation Pro.
The 4th movie made money, but is regarded as terrible by most.
5th movie was a complete bomb.
Franchise has been dead for a very long time.
This game has everything going against it, first and foremost Microsoft.

I wonder if MS adjusted their sales expectations before closing studios that were made to release day 1 GP games.
