Facts: Game didn’t break the charts on day one.

Media: Game is struggling on Steam.

Facts: That’s not what the data say, in fact some games come out with a bang, others have a long…

Media: OmD, will Ninja Theory survive?!

Can’t have a healthier gaming industry if this passes for news, specially with that headline.

5th paragraph in, so they can say they weren’t doomsayers:

While the numbers don’t look great, there’s currently nothing to worry about with Hellblade 2.

Edit: added clarity that the post started with a “dialogue”.

I bought the first game and just never got to it? Damnedest thing. No idea why, I hear it’s great and reasonably quick to play through…

I think there are a multitude of reasons for why it may not be doing well, but personally I had no clue it was coming out this month, I don’t trust my PC to be able to run it (rtx 3070 isn’t enough for a lot of high fidelity games these days), and I got hellblade 1 at full price and beat it in under 6 hours. I’m looking forward to playing it at a lower price and on better hardware in 4 years or something.

One is reviews. One is the actual players.

The game was actually terrible and only had a good story hook that wears out by the end and it’s on game pass this time.

Nobody but hardcore fans are buying this on steam at full price.

A six hour game that costs $50 and it’s on gamepass isn’t selling well? No shit.

Didn’t even know there was a hellblade 1
