It’s obviously more popular right now.

I have not played it, so I can’t speak to if it’s “better” or not. Neither can you :ehh:
I can, cause I’ve played it. Same with SoT. SoT is better, and I say this to prove numbers aren’t the end all be all for consumers.

That’s your opinion. You can’t Dictate other people’s opinions.

Numbers ARE the be all end all in any valid conversation we can have here.

So you're telling me 1000 "players played" is the same as 1000 "games sold"?

1000 players playing 1 hr of a game is the same as 1 player playing 1000 hrs?

None of these games are prohibitively expensive. Most games have deep discounts and ways to access them without paying full retail price. Some of the most popular games today have ZERO sales.

What’s most valuable is the time spent on the games I.E. “engagement”

We have stats to show both Grounded and Sea Of Theives are very good at retaining players.

In the case of those games, lots of people buy them and then spend lots of time playing them.

For someone who harps about opinions not mattering, you sure do have a lot of opinions.

You think these developers would prefer to retain 1000 folks who purchased the game, or would they prefer an additional 10000 people buy the game?

It’s not my opinion that xbox games are more popular on ps5 than sony games. Those are the numbers :ehh:

Developers want people to play their games,

Most developers have signed a deal with a publisher. Player engagement is their bargaining chip. It’s up to the publishers to make money off that engament.

Most developers are praying for a game to be anywhere near as popular as Sea Of Thieves.

Hell sony has modeled there entire future strategy around finding a SOT type success.

Good job at avoiding the question I presented.

I can look at the steam numbers and see that Sea of Thieves lost over 50% of their player base since release. But I have the critical thinking skills to understand that isn't the end all be all.

I can look at Madden 24 and understand that it's not the best Madden Game ever just because it's currently on the charts. Same with NBA2K

You say Sony is chasing SoT, I say Sony is chasing Destiny and Fortnite.

but you know how these opinions go.

Sony is chasing the money like everyone else.

They want the retention that Xbox games have but for themselves.

No I take that back, they NEED the retention to stay afloat the way things have been being run

You didn’t ask a question my breh. you just talking in circles.

The game has been out for 6 years, and the moment it released on a new platform it dominated the charts.

I’d say that’s good results :ehh:

No one is disputing that.

But you want to shoehorn SoT and Grounded in this convo instead of the other games that have more retention/sales. Destiny dwarfs both of those games.

Unlike you I don't consider Destiny a Sony game as it's a franchise that was already around before the acquisition. Fanbase was already built in.

If you want to keep it real keep it real.
