Saros generated over $22M in revenue
>source: I estimated it bro
>>738750536Chudbros... I thought Indian protagonist won't sell?
>>7387507047 billion indians can't be wrong
>>738750536Unlikely, unless 100% of copies were sold on the Playstation store so Sony was getting the entire 69.99 and not having to give 30% to a storefront like Amazon or Gamestop. Also, 22 million isn't that good considering the budget is estimated to be about the same as Alan Wake 2 which was ~80 million.
>>738750536Hopefully all that money goes into the construction of public toilets around the streets of india. Good job Sony
>SAAAAAAAAAAAAROS
Told y’all it sold well
>>738750536>another failed PC retard hate campaignYou mofuckas just keep racking up those L’s huh?
>Sar OSindian operating system
>>738750536I didn't even know it released
>>738751217Guess you don’t game? It’s literal GOTY candidate
>>738750536That's around -$54M in profit! Impressive, saars
>it is only platform
>>738751478Im buying my copy when I get paid Friday
>>738750887doesn't revenue imply actual gain once everything else is paid for?
>>738751678Nice, that'll bring it to at least -$53,999,930!
>>738751802Can I send a tip to the developers?
>>738751885Sure, paypal your money to sanjiit@housemarquemumbai.in
>>738750779Same thing happened with Wukong
>>738751773No that is profit
>>738750536>REVENUELulz.
>>738752082Also net/operating income are used. I am sure there are many more terms in other industries. Revenue is always seperate from expenses.
>>738751063>sold wellThe budget was allegedly twice what Returnal's was, which would mean $70m or so. Selling 1/3rd of what you need is not 'sold well.'
>>738751993
>>738751478>we took four years to waste $50m of someone else's money on our saar cuckold sim gameThis makes me think of the Hellblade studio wasting millions of Xbox's money to make an unappealing game that would never make back its dev budget.
>>738750704Those are bad numbers
Gachas make that money in a single month.
>>738751063Indie games sometimes make more than that. Not even talking about Hollow Knight tier successes. 22 million for a AAA snoy game is a a MASSIVE FUCKING FLOP. Housemarque are finished. Expect them to get shut down by next year. I still have no idea who this game was for? Even jeets got put off by the cuck angle.
>>738750536>estimatesInto the trash
>>738750536they're definitely porting this to PC now
this thread
>>738752784seriouslyalinea analytics are worse than vgshartz
>>738751773No. Where did you even learn that from? Profit is the one you are thinking of.
Is it a GOOD game?
>>738754176pretty good but not as good as returnal story sucks too
>>738754417worth 60 buckaroos?
>>738750536>[HEALING NEWS]
>>738750704The game's budget is triple that amount, bellend. It flopped hard.
>>738755062It’s an exclusive with limited marketing
>Actually managed to do worse than ReturnalOH NONO NO, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS JEETSISTERS
beat it earlier today, I liked it but much like returnal I didn't "get" the story, felt like nothing was real and everything happening in the game was all in his head or something
>>738750536Impressive. Very nice. Now let's see net revenue.
>>738750536>saaros
>>738755156I wonder if it's worse for commercial performance to make your main character an indian guy or a black woman?Is Directive 8020 flopping?
>>738755154It didn't have "limited" marketing at all, it just didn't generate mass interest. Also, there currently is a 93M PS5 install base yet is selling slower than Returnal that released at 8M.
>>738755696Of course it is
>>738755701Wasnt it on top of every psn chart for reach region?
>>738755859If that's the peak, its half of what The Quarry did. Maybe a black woman main character really is pure kryptonite for your game project.
good morning saar let your woman kiss another woman saar, we men are not worthy and were never meant to be with women
>>738756070The quarry was great
>>738756285I thought it was mid with the werewolves looking like complete shit because they probably couldn't figure out how to do fur in their engine.Until Dawn is still the best thing Supermassive ever made and everything else feels like them trying and failing to get back to that peak.
>>738756428Didn’t they just put a new game out?
>>738752496They're also not games
>>738756478>Didn't they just put a new game out?Yes, that's what I was talking about earlier. It's called Directive 8020, came out today, and is big on woke (black woman main character, mystery meat space ship crew, and some anon said it was preachy about girlboss stuff)
>>738750704That's not a good number kek
You can call me a schizo, but I do not believe that modern games (also movies) are made for profit.It's a worldwide psi-op.I mean, just look at the industry: nigs are EVERYWHERE. games, movies, commercials.I live in Norway and I have never seen so many niggers in real life, as they show on tv or billboards."People" who do it, do not care about profit.
>sony wants me to believe that this sold more than marathon, one of their most shilled and astroturfed titles ever releasedExactly whom are they trying to fool here?
>>738756070The main problem is with this black female protagonists or just female protagonists in these modern games is they all are unrelatable amalgamation of what white millenial Karen theatre kids thinks strong black female characters should look and act like. So they all came off as the same unappealing dull characters.
>>738756679Lmao sounds like shit
>>738756598That's still cope. The minimum for a AAA game these days is at least 1 million. Assuming most people bought Pragmata at around 50 dollars adjusting for conversion, that's still around 50,000,000 revenue. Barely enough to cover dev costs since AAA games nowadays are approaching 80 million dollars just for development
>>738757164It's performing like shit, too >>738755859
>>738750536>all the tendies itt falseflagging about muh woke as they close the thread and go play trannydachi lifeLol
>>738754507that really depends on how much you liked returnal if you're itching for something with that gameplay yeah, if you're not in a hurry wait for a sale you've probably already been spoiled anyways so it doesnt matter when you buy it
>>738756679What the heck kek why do they think a walking sim is going to be interesting (with typical modern audience femMC to boot). I'll probably check out someone else's gameplay of it simply because it's a Supermassive game and judge it by it's own merit
>>738757381These movie games live or die based on three things>the characters >the writing / plot>the performancesUntil Dawn was good in all three respects.The Quarry was mid in most respects but had good delivery of a mediocre plot, and it had some b-level celebs like Lance Henrikson and David Arquette.Directive 8020 doesn't have interesting characters, the story seems to be mid, and the acting is mid. It's also now the fourth or fifth movie game Supermassive made, so there's less novelty. It's just a lesser game in all respects it seems.
>>738757375Yea I’ll probably wait for a sale dunno how quick it will go on sale but I’ll wait
I love threads like this because you always have retards who think revenue = profit
>>738750536jesus christ, you know some games sell 22M copies? 22M dollars of revenue means this game probably sold what, 2 orders of magnitude less than those games? so not even a million copies?oh it says 300k in the pic. yeah that's not good
>>738757779It wasn’t marketed at all
>>738750704>not even one million copiesIndia is such a pathetic shithole full of parasitic rats
>>738757779thats's honestly indie tier. There are some obscure chinese games that sell more than that on release.
>>738756878Holy ESL
>>738756679>tfw the whitest guy in the crew is gaythey can't help themselves
>>738760629Really? I knew it was going to be some kind of 'fuck you' like that since he wasn't an Asian guy.They're Canadian, right? It must be some prime leftist self loathing. I'm sure it will translate into more sales for the game.
/v/ eternally BTFO as usual.
>>738760742He's some kind of euro
>>738755696It depends.
>>738755167You get cuckedThat's it, that's the story
>>738762137She's far too attractive to headline a game. Black women MUST be front and center, but they have to be the gorilla abominations like you see on the streets in Saarfield.
>>738750779pajeets actually don't play games
Saar... This isn't it.
>>738750536>grossLmao, i bet it wasn't even enough to pay for the all of the ads
>>738756679Not only that, every man is brain damaged and will choose the most suicidal actions every time.
>>738750536>300kThat's fucking terrible.
>>738763906I think it's obvious that they should have been Better Men.But don't worry, the modern audience is sure to show up this weekend and boost the game's numbers into the stratosphere. Dare I say, things might blast off
>>738763994>the modern audienceI'm the CEO of the modern audience. We just play Ketsui and Spikeout on our Steam Decks because that's what our hero, Mork, would want from us.
>>738750536>estimates>"it's only platform" typo>gross revenue, emphasis on gross, not net>ambiguously separating copies sold and copies sold in early access, the data of which can be used twice to pad the number>somehow able to bring up other games each players also played
good morning sirs. kindly do the revenue thank u
>>738750536Looks like another PS5 price increase is coming
>>738750536Alinea analytics are such fucking bullshit we should ONLY have steamcharts threads the one true accurate source
>>738764290It's going to cost more than $1k by the time GTA6 comes out lmao
>>738755167yes, if you remember the scene with seb dying in the alley, that was the only other time there were police sirens and lights. he's actually returning to reality where cops are going to take him away, it was all in his head.
>>738762832They do, but it is usually shooter mobile games. They played Pubg Mobile until it got banned by their Indian government. Now they play an Indian version of Pubg made by Krafton. One of the things that suck about mobile gaming is how many pajeets play mobile shooter games. I'm now going to try and get a job and save up money to get a video game console so I can eventually play console games again.
>>738750536>300k >for an exclusiveSony games dont sell lmfao that's pathetically low
>>738750536>>738751478Helldivers 2 did better with a $50M budget
>>738750536>revenuethat means fuck all
>>738762137She's not capital B Black though, i.e. American dindusShe's African black and attractive to boot. Western gaming media won't stand for that if a black woman like Sheva headlines a game
why is this place full of so many retarded shitskins that don't even understand the difference between revenue and profit?
>>738765402do you really need to ask>?
>>738762410>Cheat on your girlfriend>She reasonably leaves you>She eventually finds someone else>"I'm cucked!1"t. retarded chud
>>738750536>300K copiesThat is fucking pathetic for a shitty AAA sony game
>>738765475there's a couple times where you get back with your wife, only for her to pull you out of it. she's teasing you the entire time. and your suit is saying you're not worthy of her.
>>738765452Ah, they're American.
>>738750536>AlineaAnalytics>300kSo it must have sold like 100k… ooooof that’s a huge izzat loss
>>738750536They used the incorrect version of "its". The plural is possessive without an apostrophe to avoid confusion because "it's" is a contraction of "it is". This is a high school English mistake and this is supposed to be an analytics firm? My ass saaaar.
>>738765452grim
>>73875070422mill in an opening month is assthat's like less then 400k sales
>>738756598Gacha games are more real games than Sony's shitty movie games are.
>>738750704Reminder it's a 70 bucks game.Even if you assume the devs are getting the full money that's barely 300k sales, if you account for snoy's cut and taxes it can go for as low as 150k sales.I have seen literal who porn games on DLsite with more sales than that.
>>738750536That's fucking terrible. Also these guys were dead on with Yotei and got shit on until Sony confirmed the numbers themselves. But 22million revenue for a first party Sony game is shit. Unless the game's budget was dirt cheap. For comparison, Yotei generated about 150 million during its first week. With an estimated 80million budget. That game is successful despite retards complaining about it, but Saros isn't.
>>738750536>source?>we literally made it up
>>738750536>alinea analyticsyou know sales are utter dogshit when even the literal crypto scam larping as PS "analysts" can't make the numbers look good
>>738765146>Have a genuine zeitgeist moment on your hand>All you need to do is sit back and let the hype was over everyone>Instead, fuck it in the ass and kills its momentum with PSN bullshit>Go ahead and sell your K Pop Demon Hunters movie to Netflix for dirt cheap while you're at itSony are sitting on literal gold in terms of studios and talent but do everything in their power to ass fuck them repeatedly. I don't get it.
>>738750536This game is good. As someone who never played returnal I think it’s neat. World design is cool. Feels video gamey
>>738767957thanks ma'am
>>738750536>estimates>revenueLolLmao even
>>738750536It was fairly obvious that the game bombed. It took over a week until we got >one< thread of actual discussion and everybody agreed that it was a downgrade from Returnal
>the highest income households of any ethnicity in the US>the CEOs of all the top grossing companies>high-ranked professionals and executives in every profession and occupation you can think ofWe can't stop winning Indiabros. I don't blame the world for being jealous of us lol
still more copies sold then pc
>>738755696Black woman, and it's not even close. Far cry 4, and some prince of Persia sort of shit work. You can't make a black female lead AAA without the consultants fucking shit up, and at best you end up with Forespoken. Capcom could do something with shiva, but they aren't because of fear of protestors. >Is Directive 8020 flopping?Yes. It has a budget the fraction of the size of this game and is still on track to lose more money. >>738754507Fuck no. It will be in the discount bin soon anyways.
>>738769484> we are CEO saaaaaars
>>738769860
do the needful and buy game sar!
Indians dont play games, we're too buying being Timmy's CEO.
>>738750704These are terrible numbers
>>738750536Saar pls to be redeeming the better man saar.
the good news is it'll be on ps+ within 6 months.the bad news is it's just returnal but worse and returnal is already on ps+
>>738752496>casinos make more money than video gamesI'm shocked
>>738750704>GO BROKE GO WO-ACK!
>>738750536>22M in revenue>budget was 70+MHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA
>>738779917but we put in DEI and everything? Why isn't it selling like hotcakes?! WAS IT THE CHUDS?! I BET THEY ARE BEHIND THIS!
>>738750536JAI SHRI RAMSHRIRAM
>>738750536>300k salesIs that it? Kek Pragmata released to 1million sales in the same time period.
>>738751678>Poor wage cuckold who has no savings is the target audienceNow it makes sense.
>>738756070>Maybe a black woman main character really is pure kryptonite for your game project.I think it is but I'm ready to be proven wrong, Anons post games that have a black woman as the main character, and it's used as a main selling point of the game, that has done financially well/ sold well.Personally I can't think of a single game but I might be wrong.
I keep on reading that title as Soros.
>>738780429I keep on reading it as SAARS. We all have our prejudices.
>>738780397If you look up the old OKCupid data, that was the one demographic whose own race replied to them less than any other race. And obviously nobody else replied much either. On top of that, there were *males* in some races who got more replies than black females got from most races. Males getting more replies than a certain type of female is *insane*. Not a popular demo. Should not be featured. This is purely DEI religious nonsense.
What else snoyggers gonna play?
Why are we still discussing sales in the big 26? No matter how well you do can you still do better than pic related? Costs peanuts to maintain servers and generates nearly $40 million each month (on IOS only).
