Your profile is private, clearly new, and you probably don't even own the game.

5 million mark was made up by 4chan. We really have no idea what the game cost or what EA will consider a success.

Do some research, watch the credits. Come back with a number.

-30%~ Cut from steam sales.
5,000,000 * $70 = $350,000,000 / over 10 years of development time, team-changing costs, taxes, fees, marketing, paying streamers.

How much $$ is 350 in 2014 vs 2025.

there are many more factors that inflate that number well past 5million sales needed to consider making another installment.

Blackmyth:Wukong had 2.4 MILLION players btw and was hammered by the press.
Not unfair for established IP to double these numbers.
...and Dragonage was praised to high heaven by games Journalists.
Less than 5 million and this will make the suits very nervous.
We'll see I guess.

Wukong had massive Chinese audience. They like "patriotic" Chinese games. Three Kingdoms Total War (Chinese Total War) also sold well thanks to them.

Comparisons with BG3, Space Marine 2 or Starfield are more fair.

Gamers have spoken.
DEI = DOA
Wallets closed to slop.

8000 for a AAA game is hilariously bad.

Poster draws attention to intriguing fact that it takes less time to download a smaller file.
