8000 ratings on a weird niche rating platform like the Playstation Store is a ridiculously high amount. all this shows is that the rating is a total lie, as 8000 people would not go and rate a product like that.

Amusingly enough, no. They gutted the romance content to be "not too steamy" for trannies, so they even lost the woman audience. It's only made for trannies.

4chan is an echo chamber that thinks it’s in the majority but after certain recent real life events it’s hard to believe that the sentiment on 4chan is the reality in real life.

Does gold stickers from reviewers translate to sales? For perspective, Dragons Dogma 2 has close to 4 million sales now, even if people didnt like that game and it reviewed average, it sold well. Can DAV say the same with how many people actually played it?

It could be the best game ever made, people dont want to touch it because its about sending a message. If your game contains blatant and overt woke shit it is going to affect sales, and it turns out the people advocating for this shit dont really exist, or at least they never seem to show up and support whatever manages to be trying to cater to them.

even if that were true, and its not, that would still mean that they didn't even reach 1 million sales on playstation globally
even if you give it 800k for EACH platform you're still left UNDER 150 million profit not even including fees and 150 is the lowest estimate always given
so even in the most crackhead troon headcanon overestimates it would STILL be millions of dollars away from breaking even.

ME Andromeda has like a 4.2 on PSN.
>>
>>695196591
It's more like 15%
And activists would be more inclined to review bomb Veilguard, so the real number should be closer to 25% for this particular game
So 4x8=32 to get the number of digital sales
So if digital sales are 10%, then physical should be ~290k. PS sales usually account for something like 60% of total sales. Let's say that for this game, Dragon Age has a very strong PC base, and it's actually 60% on PC. That would put total sales at around 800k.
It all seems to point that Veilguard is around that 800k mark, when you take into account that EU sales performance we got yesterday, and how it trailed Dragon's Dogma 2's launch by more than 18%.
It's been just twenty days and it can still sell, but it's probably in the tens of thousands now, worldwide, and likely in the low tens. Anon that guessed 500k sales wasn't that far off. I don't think any Bioware game has flopped this much, ever.

That was an internal memo. Now, the way it was reported it seems like it was done to soothe internal worries, and not an official report, which can't actually be taken into account. Companies will literally lie to their employees all the time, and then the company closes, everybody is shitcanned, and the money is all gone. Typically, this isn't something you announce in an internal memo, and it isn't something the employees need to be worried about. The kind of memo that you would internally announce is that due to the success of the game, you're getting a bonus, not the nobody panic kind of memo. It means that you are indeed panicking, you are aware of the situation, and it means there is need to worry about something.

Is the average companion rating at out of 5 or out of 10? Because none of this are a 4.6 out of 5. The Planescape Torment cast, which has some of the best characters in gaming doesn't have a 4.6 out of 5 character.

It's not even that. In the memo, it allegedly says that they sold "over a million". How much over a million? Over a million. Is that a million and 1 copies? 1.2 million copies? Is it close to 2 million copies? And it comes off as just trying to debunk the outlets that estimate its sales at less than a million copies, without actually answering. And does that mean sold in or sold through? Because one means shipped, and the other means putting it in the hands of actual customers. This is just misleading at best, and intentionally, malevolently dishonest at worst.

According to this, the lower bound of what The Veilguard made in net revenue was $16,122,847.85.

And the upper bound is $24,184,271.77.

Even if you double them to account for sales on other platforms and add 10%, the lower bound is $35,470,265.27, and the upper bound is $43,531,689.19.

So in the best case scenario, Dragon Age: The Veilguard made EA between $35 Million and $45 Million. Out of a budget of at least $200 Million.
