Bungie is in trouble then, as reports keep coming in that sales are down 50% from D1. If you assume that most of the "hard core D1" players purchased D2, then that significant dip in sales is coming from the casual player base that Bungie designed the game specifically for while alienating the hard core players. That's a pretty big problem, when you consider that casual players, don't definitely purchase the DLC, don't purchase silver, and don't shop for Bungie products on the website. You can bet Bungie budgeted for a pretty decent revenue stream from this title for the next 3 years, then promptly false adveritised and spit in the face of the very group of players prepared to make icremental purchases for the life of the game.
"There will be tons of loot!"
Remember that from the trailer? Its gone from that to "its a collection game with friendship as the best reward." They lied to our faces.

Physical sales are down by 50% compared to D1, but DIGITAL sales have blown D1 out the water. D2 was a success compared to D1 in copies sold and general reception. If you have even a half million people playing your game daily you are doing things right. And D2 has more than that daily. D2 will be fine.

Editado por Blankman007: 10/17/2017 6:18:43 PMWhere are the numbers to back that up? I've seen nothing but vague non quantifiable excuses for the downturn in sales like "digital sales are blowing D1 sales out of the water" or "they aren't making a game for PS3 anymore". I'd say the fact that they are even mentioning the problematic lack of end game content in the weekly update despite just being days away from a PC launch is an indicator that they know things aren't fine.

That's just common sense. Millions playing your game regardless of the 'endgame' is not a problem that needs fixing. If you need a link to destiny tracker to believe its millions I can give you that too.

Editado por Blankman007: 10/17/2017 7:41:57 PMActually, common sense would be that many of the PS3 and 360 owners upgraded to a PS4 or xbone over the last 3 years, so the "two less consoles" argument is a pretty hollow one. Certainly when trying to account for a lost 50% in sales.
