Sony owns 5% of epic games.
Sony out here co-publishing greatness

And 14% Fromsoftware so even more publishing on the charts

Spider-man is a very popular character.

I’m not sure what you are expecting me to say here

That it's harder to actually sell something than it is to rent something.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

That it's harder to actually sell something than it is to rent something.

And despite all of it meach still bought a ps5 and same-nikka 2

 

[MeachTheMonster]

That it's harder to actually sell something than it is to rent something.

This isn’t true

again the number one most profitable and played game this year has zero sales.

Y’all gotta reconcile that fact before you keep quoting me

And don't forget Sony out here co-publishing the only Marvel movie that has even mattered in the last 3 or 4 years as well

Back to my original point. It’s easier to get someone to “try” a F2P game than it is with a full priced game.

WHAT!?
Is your contention that it's harder to give away a game than it is to sell a game?

I said "it's harder to actually sell something than it is to rent something."
Your response makes 0.0% sense.

Meach, squeeze both of my fingers
I need to make sure you haven't had a stroke.

 

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

So is the line of logic here that since the most profitable game is F2P with in-game sales that all games should be F2P with loads of microtransitions to keep the industry healthy, then?

All games moving forward should be low budget, high profit, subscription based, have microtransactions, and be published by one of microsoft's subsidiaries.
The overall quality of the game itself is a straw man argument.

My contention is that people play the games they want to play regardless of price.

There’s dozens of FTP games and $70 games releasing all the time. None of them reach the heights of fortnight or spider-man

Sure, I agree, but the numbers in the OP don’t give you this answer

Meach, squeeze both of my fingers

Success exists on the other side of haters.

Maybe you are just on the wrong side

Again, you are in an industry sales thread.

If you wanna talk about the quality of an individual piece of software make a thread
