:wow:

Piscatella pointed out that half of the games that made the list were launched before the 2020s. Most notably, Elden Ring, which we gave a 10 and quickly became the best-selling game of the past year, ranked 20th and fell short to older games like Rocket League and World of Warcraft.

Piscatella accredited the game’s surprisingly low placement to the success of evergreen and live service games, calling them “gravity wells for player attention, time and spending.” Q1 is typically defined as the period from January to the end of March, so Elden Ring would also have only been released for one month.

Piscatella expanded on this thread by stating that more AAA games should seek the help of services like Game Pass and the new PlayStation Plus, saying he believes these plans can help “get games funded, released, and to help them break through the barriers of the big evergreen titles.”

What else is there even left to do in gta 5?
:damn:
:dead:

There aren't even good money sinks like that Online which is the thing.

A lot of the cars are the exact same under the hood and you're pretty much just paying for the aesthetic/mod parts.

I still get more run out of my Sultan RS/Elegy Custom than a lot of these new cars.

If they had this shyt at the start, they prolly would have a higher player count. I remember when the Arcadium was on that shyt heavy with no heists. Coli brehs planning out extensive getaways for fukking convenience store hits :mjlol:

Stan Wars done gave a breh PTSD, because I'm really wondering what the ulterior motive is for this thread. :dead:
Got yall spooked.


It's not even about stan wars.
I'm really trying to get these dudes to understand
I'm also proving points from years ago.
I don't forget, this also is a current "hot topic"
What is there to play?
You let a certain group of people tell it
Only exclusives matter
That's all people play
But the numbers show different.
People want to play games with there friends 1st and foremost.
Exclusives are bait
Exclusives overall are like Fast food, everyone love its. And some of it is top tier and a brand world wide. But overall they are flashes in the pan
When it's all said and done people crave that home cook and grown meal.

Having the latest greatest system currently is a novelty
Most gamers get games MAD late
old hardware is always selling, you think gamestop and pawn shops by them joints for there health?
I remember years ago when I worked at gamestop watching families and kids come in buying all kinda of last gen and older systems and games. Spending hundreds of dollars on older stuff.
