Starfield (day one game pass ) vs avowed

[mwest0411]

It well know, that star field sold 3 mill copies witha concurrent peak of 330k on steam. By that esimate avowed is at 121k copies max with 13k peak players. Kinda concerned about the studio's future.

Most of their playtime will be through gamepass. Anyone buying on Steam is just a bonus for them.

They also have The Outer Worlds 2 coming soon which is their 'big' game.

No need to worry about this lot. I don't think their jobs are at steak.

I mean there last 2 game, The Outer Worlds peak at 20,349 and Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire peak at 22,724... Obsidian never got huge number and since you need the unnecessary expensive edition to play right now, I'm pretty sure it gone get the same kind of number as there other game

I don't get a modern fashion of wishing bad to gaming studios. Both Obsidian and Bethesda are legendary Developers who passed test of time and still making nice games.
As much as i think Starfield was mediocre at best it was still fine game worth of attention, in comparison Obsidian have rich library of very good rpgs like Tyranny, FNV, both Pillars games and long, really long story of people working among others on legendary titles like Fallouts. Now they delivered Awoved, very simple rpg but a good game, when i play it i feel like playing new version of Might & Magic. It is game focused on the story and side quests, less on advanced mechanics etc.

If a restaurant makes bad food it should close. If a games studio makes bad games they should close.

History doesn't matter. This Obsidian can't couldn't make New Vegas.

That being said they still clearly have a niche of gamers that like them. Ones that will pay £100 for early access to the upcoming space game with an anti-capitalism message.

I agree but Avowed is nowhere near "bad food".

If it was food it would be a bag of skittles. Colourful, no nutritional value, something people might eat between substantial meals for a quick dopamine hit. They also rot your teeth whilst this rots your brain.

It is your opinnion, i will compare it to light salad :) anyway have a nice day lad.

Day one gamepass drop has always indicated one thing to me personally...
Mid at best.

You have to keep in mind it is only the early release for premium price you are seeing. Numbers are untrustworthy until the formal full release occurs.
