Well, there goes MachineGames

[Up To The Wolves]

With these numbers and and after seeing what happened to Tango Gameworks with Hi-Fi Rush, MachineGames may share the same fate.

Its on game pass. Microsoft own Bethesda and Bethesda own Machine Games. Its one of those games that's there to sell Game Pass. This pretty much always happens when a game launches on Game Pass. Microsoft must make money from it or they wouldn't keep doing it. I think owning the studio, for them devving games like this and launching them on Game Pass as a pro to the service was the reason they bought Bethesda in the first place.

This game was a flop

Hi-Fi Rush also was on Game Pass.

One of the reasons that Tango was closed down becauze nearly all senior devs left after the game director resigned.

The exception doesn’t define the rule

Based on what, steam sales? LOL, wake up dude Steam is not the main income for this game. Millions are playing this game on gamepass, millions.

Millions most likely already had a GamePass subscription.
So I would say yes, this game makes the income on Steam.

Short term? Perhaps, long term? Nope

Let's hope so.

I'm surprised this game doesn't get more players attention. I expected Stalker 2 numbers since it's Indiana Jones and MachineGames.
But in terms of AI and Puzzles, the game is pretty lackluster, I expected more.
But I also haven't played Wolfenstein 2 and Youngblood, which are considered not very good games and agenda infested.

Seems like the people from the New Order and Old Blood era are not working there anymore.

Go back to your Playstations.

Single player games with no replayability don't sell Welfare Pass subs, particularly games from a damaged brand. It may have prevented a small number of people from cancelling their subs for a month due to lack of games but that's pretty much the best case scenario for this game.

Hi-Fi Rush also was on Game Pass.

True, I was quite surprised when Microsoft closed the dev behind that.
