This year released many great games so far, we can live without GTA6 this year.

I'll poke wherever I want though, even if it confuses you.

Dude, you can't just comment on a public message board! /s

I have no idea what's confusing you, but I'm sure that's normal for you. What's confusing me is you imagining you need to poke your nose in while having nothing to say.

I just see a Cutter-esque refusal to just be like, "Oops, I made a mistake," and instead choose to lash out.

Do. Not. Feed.

Okay dragon (lol).

It's funny to see someone who thinks they have everything figured out be so wildly wrong. I'm not implying anything at all; why would I? It's one of my favorite games so far this year and the first game already did well enough, so there's no reason to assume a sequel that improves on it will do any worse. What a nonsensical take. And examples of what? Could it be that a veritable Sherlock Holmes like you has failed to notice that recently pretty much only smash hits or games that surpassed expectations actually post sales numbers, and most others prefer to try and look good with "players" instead. It's not an obscure pattern; do you really need someone to give you examples?

Not sure why you're so eager to pick a fight, but I'll just stop engaging with the troll now.

This is a post about sales numbers, where you said it wasn't... and now dig in on that identifying it as a trend.
Doesn't really make much sense.

How is that trolling?

Oh I grant you it's not a completely obvious troll post, but it's still a troll post that is fishing for reactions. Which you have recieved and then some. Let me explain (to others) why your post falls into this category:

1) You are implying, right off the bat that the game did not sell well, I.E wasn't successful. This is for an extremely popular game, that everyone knows sold well.
2) You did not provide any arguments for your post, or any examples.
3) You (by your own admission) did not even click on the link. (BTW you didn't need to admit that, it's obvious from your post)

You are right, it would have been better if I had not replied at all because engaging with trolls is usually pointless, but I did, and I did so the only other permissible way. Snark.

How is that trolling? The story posted here doesn't mention sales numbers, and who the hell knows what's on some console subscription platforms if they're not subscribed to those things? As jacobvandy helpfully pointed out apparently the X link mentions that these are actual sales, but I'm not about to click on X links (and I'm surprised Blue still posts them here in the first place) so I'll only know what the story says as posted. Even if you fail to understand all of that, it still works as a tongue-in-cheek comment since it's a clear industry trend. Aren't you actually the one who's trolling right now?

The first one was an epic giveaway, those numbers were probably included in the sakes, kcd2 though was not on any services, so they would be pure sales

They literally say KCD2 has sold 3 million copies (and KCD1 has sold 10 million). The linked tweet is the first in a series of images depicting various stats along with that fact, i.e. those '3 million Henrys' have killed 489 million people, picked 194 million locks, spent 389 million in-game hours being drunk, etc.

3 million copies sold without an official discount yet, and a dev mentioned before that the Steam sales are about a 50-50 split between standard and Gold editions. That's a lot of cash, and they deserve it.

I don't believe this game is on any subscription services, so unless people are excessively sharing their games this 3 million should be close to actual sales, unless I'm not thinking of something?

Great game, and with some fantastic power fantasy progression, for those of y'all bemoaning Oblivion's lack of it.
