Sales numbers are bad. No The Evil Within 3?

[scream]

The Evil Within 2 sales are worse than the first game. Yes, it took 3rd place in UK charts, for example, but there was a gulf in sales between it and Shadow of War which is number 2. It sold less than a quarter of The Evil Within's 2014 physical launch total.
So does this mean we won't get the The Evil Within 3?

People who value actually owning what they pay for. I should be able to sell my property if I decide to.

Digital is convenient for many reasons, but in reality you pay for access and not ownership.

It is a big con to the consumer that it even costs more for digital in most cases and has zero production costs.

Buying retail doeesn't give you anything special other than a box and MAYBE if you're lucky a disc. It's still a just a license tied to a service. It's not like consoles where you can resell the games, goodluck unbinding your license from your digital distro account.

Buying retail today doesnt mean jack, you still have to dowload half the game and activate on steam or other client.

Sales are very very bad. Only 74000 in a week http://steamspy.com/search.php?s=EVIL+WITHIN+2 but middle earth shadow of war sold 400.000 in a week https://www.google.gr/search?source=hp&q=middle+earth+shadow+of+war+sells+400.000+on+steam&oq=middle+earth+shadow+of+war+sells+400.000+on+steam&gs_l=psy-ab.3...262.10290.0.10539.51.49.1.0.0.0.242.5700.14j29j2.45.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..5.34.3813...0j0i131k1j0i3k1j0i10k1j0i22i10i30k1j0i19k1j33i160k1.0.BrUyuXga9nI

That what happens when a smaller game release same week with a very big francise game like lot of the rings. Bethesda is to blame for this.

Good news for WB is however that it saw that a good a pc version will sell well unlike a broken online like mortal kobmat 10. 400.000 pc sales on week is very good.

You're an idiot. Steamspy isn't super accurate early on in a title's life. And console numbers matter too.

Like many people have already noted, TEW2 was released mid-month which in turn means many people haven't gotten their paycheck yet, and for the few people that actually have money, they're going for other big games that released practically alongside TEW2 like Shadow Of War or Cuphead. Additionally this game's demographic isn't exactly your average gamer... Essentially you should wait a little longer (give it 2-3 months) to have a concise verdict.

Also don't forget that bethesda broke their good will with a really large portion of their fan base. Death of the outsider was a flop as well, not just this. Bethsda is 0 for 2 on new game sales since releasing thier new paid mods system.

That seems psychotic to boycott products that aren't full of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and are from side-studios over something a main studio is doing.

Right it is psychotic not to buy products from a publisher that is trying it's hardest to milk its fans for every cent possible. It's more psychotic than retrofitting microtransactions into single player games.

More than you would think actually

That's why gamestop keeps closing stores and their stock keeps going down. J/K the reason is because less people than you would think are still buying physical games.

[henri]

Its because most of the Critics reviewers , said wiat for sale and i think alot of peepz are gonna wait for it , i guess. Even Critic youtubers also said wiat for sale. But i heard alot of peepz like the game overall , and on metacritic Critics 76 overall vs users 8.7 overall + also its october very bussy month for gamers , alot of big AAA games comming out ,

Oh and having finished TEW2 I can already say that there won't be a third installment (conclusive ending and all). If there's anything to go on I'd say the last scene after watching the credits roll by, but if anything that just hints towards story based DLC's down the line.

So did you not see the post credits scene or
