something about this headline was tickling my memory, so i did a little search of the site;
Epic on Bulletstorm Salesmike capps, about 8 months ago, discussing how bulletstorm sold
barely 300k units on ALL platforms.
so capps obviously
knows the truth, but is deliberately spinning the blame to piracy as usual. that part's not in doubt. what i wonder about is his agenda. marginalizing the pc as a platform? or trying to obfuscate the failure on every front of this game's design, marketing and positioning.
if i had to venture a guess, i'd blame their premium pricing. this game was never meant to be a 60 dollar title. call of duty can get away with that shit, not no-name IP. i can only call on my own experience, and at 40 or 50 this game was weird looking enough that i would have bought into it on release, but 60? no way, and then the word of mouth caught on.
got it during steam sale for 5 bucks.
