Avowed is winning

[Q]

I'm glad to see this game is doing well, it was a top seller for so many days and the devs are happy with the results.

I'm seeing on the steamcharts that it had 18K+ in the last 24h. Even Dragon Age: the Fail guard did better with the 90K players in the first weekend.
But hey, if that makes you happy to telling lies, who are we to tell you otherwise.

Also, almost no one is reading games magazines anymore, considering that they have a bias towards games that have their own political agenda.

Lol, we don't even own the game.

Despite Avowed’s strong launch, topping Steam’s global sales charts and engaging a dedicated player base, the game may not yet be in the green. With an estimated 1 million copies sold at around $60 each, the game generated approximately $60 million in direct sales revenue.

However, considering the high development cost, which is rumored to be around $100 million, Avowed would have likely incurred a profit loss in the early stages of its release. Factoring in the impact of Xbox Game Pass, where a portion of the player base didn't purchase the game outright, the overall revenue may have been a bit lower than expected.

While it's still early to fully judge the financial outcome, Avowed’s development cost coupled with the sales figures suggests it could take time to recoup its production budget and start turning a profit. Let's see how the game performs in the months ahead!

It’s clear that Avowed could face a significant profit loss early on. Given the competitive RPG market and the lukewarm response from some players, Avowed might have a long road ahead to break even. If the game’s sales don’t pick up, it could be one of Obsidian’s most costly endeavors

100% facts, has not even peeked past 20k players on steam. Then you get everyone saying, "Well its on game pass is why!" Yeah so was Palworld and many other games and they still had higher steam chart current players. Cope harder, game is a flop. Not even cause the BS politics or ideals. It's just a bland game with bland world with bland quests. Yeah, I might not own it but I have seen plenty of lets plays or comparing it vs older games of the genre. The game gets smoked by Skyrim which is like 10+ years old. Oh well.

Veilguard didn't release simultaneously on Gamepass which costs $12 a month versus the $70 on Steam. Steam numbers are a drop in the bucket of actual players and subscribers.

Yeeeaaaaah, what ever excuse makes you happy.
I already considert other gaming platforms/consoles, seeing those low numbers on steamDB globally, say's a lot about how the game is doing in general. It is also the same excuse that Bioware used for Dragon Age: the Fail guard, telling us that the game sold 1.5 million copies. But is it true? Doubt that, considering that a huge group of that development team of the Fail guard where fired.

But again if it makes you happy to believe that the game is doing great.

Hahahaha okay if you say so

[Pyro3000]

#8 in sales, not even in the top 100 for most played. Even the positive reviews say to wait until a massive sale.

If there is ever an Avowed 2, it's going to tank.

Gamepass is hamstringing games. They can boast all they want about having 1 million engagements, or w/e they wanna call it now, it doesn't mean much when people aren't actually buying the game.

[ko]

Winning is 200.000+ concurrent players, and staying in the top three global top sellers for weeks. Not one tenth of that, which is terrible for an AAA game that was in development for 6 years.

It's dropping like a rock in the sales charts. And the first weekend isn't even over.

This is doing much worse than Veilguard, which also had a troubled, prolonged development - and that game flopped hard. These games were made on Californian salaries. They need to make lots of money to be successful.

Is OP coping?

Retern ta fom fo Obsidian

Even if they want to say that, the achievement data isn't favorable. People aren't putting more than a few hours into the game. There won't be anyone that buys it after the 30 days period is up.
