then neither does including free 2 play and hardware

Sure, but you can also just look at the peak CCU, it was just under 4k yesterday and it didn’t even get close to that again today (2,789). The numbers don’t really look favorable any way you slice it

I always sort by global, region doesn’t make sense for sales discussions/performance
Region matter if the region is US because that's the largest market for steam. I do agree that the game most likely won't make back its cost and that's mostly because it took 5 years to make the game and the wages for this game does add up

The first one was carried by some hard sales so i think once it drops down to 15-20 like the first one did it will probably do a little better.

Was a very small team compared to most games.
Unsure what the size is, but 5 years is 5 years. I think going in Microsoft wasn't expecting a ton of sales with the game being a $50 game. Also, I think steam is tricky with this game because its a 5-8hour game, so many will just opt to play through gamepass.

First game was around 30 people, second was around 80, this one also had a longer development cycle. so this one definitely had higher cost attached to it

I mean, if the game is 5 hours then why would it still be there after nikkaz beat it?

Yeah, i think it’s just the fact that most people are just going to play it on gamepass. 50 dollars is a hard sell fr a 6 hour linear game.

If you paid full price for it you probably beat it already and moved on.

TYRONE GA!
I just hope Ninja Theory don't get vapors after this.

I loved Heavenly Sword. Wish it got a sequel. And the graphics were groundbreaking for consoles then too.

With the way shyt is going nowadays, hopefully the high execs didn't run off with the bag totally after the MS purchase.
