>Mina the Hollower, the highest-rated video game of 2026 so far, sold 300,000 copies in its first three days on the market, according to developer Yacht Club Games.>Sean Velasco, studio co-founder and director, told Bloomberg on Tuesday that he’s thrilled with the critical reception for the new title, which came out on May 29. >He said the strong sales mean that Yacht Club can keep operating without making cuts or taking outside investment, at least for now.
>>740086887Good. Good games should sell well.
>>740086887>at least for nowIt's so over...
>>740086887oh no, the anti-YCG retards will be upset that, once again, they have no impact on sales.ooooopsie!
>>740086972agreed.hope they stay solvent
>>740086887ahahahaha, /v/tards in shambles
So it looks like most of those sales are not from steam huh
>>740086887Is there troon shit in this game? If yes, I will forget about it and never buy it.
>>740087224the devs donated 20k to BLM however many years ago
>>740087202It is definitely a console game like Shovel Knight.
i bought a copy c:
>>740086887Yikes.
>>740086887>300,000 x $20 = $6,000,000Seething Mina hater anon on suicide watch.
>>740086887>without making cuts or taking outside investment, at least for now.Kek so they're fucked.
>>740087202I thought it was pretty obvious that it would do the best on Switch
>>740087254kek they helped a nig buy a mansion what a bunch of fags. I'll pirate it later I guess
>>740087202Yes they are
>>740086887game was great; easy 9/10 gbc-like
>>740087202I don't why this would be surprising, 60% of Shovel Knight sales were on the 3DS and Switch
>>740086887here comes the mina-hate rope posting.
>>740086887Yacht Club are shutting down this year, probably around October. Last i heard was they were going to try and get bought by Inti Creates and become their main US publisher/support studio.
>>740087254Eh, that’s retarded of them but not quite as bad as the game being full of troon nonsense. Maybe I’ll buy it when it’s on heavy discount at like 3 dollars. They don’t deserve full price.
>>740087041I'm looking forward to seeing this game's sales in a month. "Muh BLM donation!" retards will be in shambles.
>>740087304Doesn't it need to sell a million to break even?
I just donated $20 to BLM directly and pirated the game. It's what the devs would want.
>>740087437dogshit rumor created by a troon twitter poster.
>>740087437Shhh anon, let him have his moment
>>740087202>>740087278>>740087330>>740087367180k on Steam according to the dev on Discord
>>740087437No. the break even post in probably half that number for a game like this
>>740087412How many times have the “chuds” been wrong about this kind of shit? Maybe 5% of the time a game they shit on ends up being successful?
>>740087464Proof?
>>740087304they've made about 1.6 million in actual profit give or take a couple hundred grand.
>>740087446actually you were supposed to send $14 to BLM and $6 to gabe newell's yacht fund>>740087464That sounds consistent with 3k reviews and the average of 65 sales per review.
>>740087437>beginning of game is stupid, enemies take a down hits to kill and you get knocked into pits that drain half your health>after the first dungeon you have enough bones to triple your health, damage, and vials making the game substantially easierThey can't design a video game worth shit.
>>740087529im a chud and i loved this game.
Sounds like this club can't afford a yacht just yet
BLOOD BITCH LYING BASTARD SAAR!!! GAME IS COSTING 100 BILLION RUPEE TO MAKE!!! MINA THE HOLLOWING FUCKING BENCHOD!!!

>>740087587noooooh! you are the fuck bitch! you are the bastard man!
>>740087396>LOL this game is going to get cancelled>LOL this game is going to flop>LOL this game is actually shitYou are here>LOL let's delude ourselves into thinking YCG is actually going bankrupt
>>740087464Oh wasn’t expecting Steam to be so dominating for this oneSales on PS5 must be really low
>>740087575I’m just trying to figure out if this game deserves to be on the chud shit list. I don’t have time to investigate this shit any more and don’t want my money going to faggotry and modern audience bullshit
>>740087041They need 1M to be clear btw. 200k was the safe zone.
>>740087304Now take out the Gaben/storefront fees, and also production costs for the KS rewards. And then there’s the fact that the budget was 10mil. They’ll inch their way to making a profit, no doubt, but still.
>>740087202>the Nintendo-weighted as fuck company that already primed this behavior from Shovel Knight's original release on 3DS and Wii U probably sold most of its copies on the platform that already is the most dominant as far as indie game sales go for the last decadeWow who could've imagined most copies of Mina the Hollower were probably sold on Switch and Switch 2
The game is great. Good for them
>blm dev;/
>>740087652jajajajaja
>at least for nowI really hope they learn to work on smaller money makers from time to time instead of going double or nothing again. frankly it's a miracle they survived as long as they did on purely Shovel Knight money
>>740087541>Online platforms take almost 75% of sales. You're either delusional or retarded. Which one is it?
>>740087652I've done work with and for a bunch of people who've worked there over the years. I've never seen any of them so glum. Sounds like their other two projects are burning money and not going well. Mina's their rock for now, but the future sounds very very dicey.
Mina won, chuds lost. Bigly.

>>740087665i see the 20k as an anti-gorilla/floyd attack protection payment.other businesses did this to hopefully prevent the gorrilions from destroying their offices.

>>740087860You lost. Have another. :-)
how is it possible that /pol/ always loses?
>>740086887better than expected, I honestly thought that they were a literal who since they last game came out three centuries ago
>>740087202I would assume this type of game to target Switch users if they like money

>Today I learnt that Shovel Knight only sold around 3M copieswtf I always thought it did closer to 10M by how much it was everywhere
>>740087573The game is for achievement troons, which is where any semblance of difficulty beyond beating the game comes from

>>740088089bad news, there's more of the game now
>>7400873046000000*0.7*0.75=3150000, still 3 millions short
>>740087937I used to work with your average /pol/tard years ago. The guy was a barely functional autist who creeped on girls constantly (why he got fired) and constantly offered unsolicited political takes even when completely out of context. He also smelled like the inside of an asshole, was balding in his early 20s, and was fairly overweight. The reason I know he used /pol/ is because he flat out told me on numerous occasions. I'd trust this guy's assessment on anything about as much as I'd trust a starving wolf in a locked barn full of fat sheep.

>>740088190Because it is.
>>740088167Mina is still 700k sales short of cofounder expectations. Considering most new games generate half of its lifetime sales in first 3 days that doesn’t look good for Yacht Club
>>740088129>
>>740086887Good for them, Mina has been a pleasant surprise to me, it seems they really do want to just make fun retro-inspired video games, with likable character design and good music. I hope they continue to do so. Haven't played Shovel Knight but I plan to now.

>>740088167The amount of cope in this thread is unreal. Suddenly, everyone is intimately aware of YCG's financials and the costs of the game, and the costs associated with selling a game. Apparently /v/ is filled with industry insiders that would rather work for free in this hellhole than make real money as industry analysts. Bless their hearts, all of them!
>>740088216What, did they bring the IP counter back or is there some kind of new exploit?

>>740088348No, just schizophrenia.
>>740087437No, the closest we got was that 200k copies sold would be "really, really great", the thing about 1M copies was a separate statement
It’s currently #25 on steam so unless Nintendo sales stay strong they will have to shut down before releasing next game
>>740088348xhe's a tranitor
if the mouse was a male no one would care
>>740087669Shovel Knight came to Nintendo platforms really late though, I never really thought it had a big audience there. Kinda surprised, honestly.
>>740088410oh no, me sad =(me big sad guys =(the numbers, please SAR, the NUMBERS!
>>740088406No, 200k was “not good” sales, 500k was good sal

>>740088329/v/'s been around for more than 20 years. Lots of people here in that time have had careers in and around the industry. You don't think people with some know how are hanging around here?

>>740088441Game looks like ass so I still don't care
>>740088476wrong, the "not good" number was 100k, the full quote was:>“If we sold 500,000 copies, then we would be golden. If we sold even 200,000, that would be really, really great. If we sold, like, 100,000, that’s not so good.”

I still can’t understand why faggots are seething on this simple new game anyway
Bed breaking baby making sex with Mina's tight mouse pussy.
>>740086887congrats YCG!
>>740088674Seethe, your slop flopped, everyone is here to laugh at you
Wow it's almost like the Switch exists and Steam didn't paint the whole picture.
>>740088682They burned through 40 million profit of shovel knight. They need a lot
>>740088461It was a day one launch on 3DS and WiiU, the PS4 and Vita releases were the late ones
>>740088602it looks like a fucking accountant spreadsheet above you daft cunt. People are quoting numbers they completely pulled out of their ass on here to cope with this game being successful. For an indie game 300k copies in 3 days is insane.
>>740088682Well it was being developed at the same time as their 3D Shovel Knight project which had they had to stop work on since it was going nowhere, once they got the crew from that game working on Mina they reportedly had to do a bunch of retooling too.
>>740088275>Considering most new games generate half of its lifetime sales in first 3 daysThat's... not true at all. Games keep selling for a long time in digital age. Mina will reach 1 million within the next 3 months.
>>740088747hahahahaha
>>740088697Your hard-earned money is going towards freeing criminals back to streets.
>>740088802easy 1mil lifetime.esp given the terrible marketing.

>>740088697It's mostly one anon, but it's also /pol/tard tourists dogpiling YCG because of a donation they made to BLM back in 2020. These tards are worse than actual woke people, and too stupid to realize they're literally the opposite side of the same coin as the woke left.
>>740086887>nowhere near as much as SilksongMore like running on copium.

>>740088275>Considering most new games generate half of its lifetime sales in first 3 daysGo look at Capcom sales reports on Wikipedia and you'll see how false that is.
>>740088832How does that has anything to do with me enjoying the game, /pol/ faggot?
>>740086887Thise are pathetic numbers, what are you people even celebrating? Other games sold much more and atill flopped
>>740088914woke left = woke rightboth groups have ZERO spending power.
>>740088802Geg no one is playing this ugly sloppa except for a few streamer cucks perhaps
>>740087937its because pol is a bunch of screaming retards.
>>740088949For starters, you can't enjoy the game if they decide to kill you.

>>740089126yet gachaslop is ok
>>740088926>Go look at Capcom salesLike this?> Capcom does not break down launch performance into an exact three-day percentage, but 5 million copies (roughly $350M in gross revenue) were sold in the first five days. With lifetime sales reaching 7 million copies, those initial five days accounted for approximately 71% of all consumer sales to date.
/v/ really needs to make a new rule just to ban all the /pol/ fags
>yet another bloomberg puff piecehow much are they paying schreier for these articles?
>>740089238hear hear
>300K in 3 fucking daysOK, but here's why they will never, EVER get to 1million (it's impossible)and if they do, here's why it turns out they actually needed to sell 3millionand if they do, here's how i'm going to fucking kill myself
>>740089314> 300K in 3 fucking days >>740089214
holy fuck the /pol/seethe is immense.
>>740089314Don't care how many fake sales it makes still not playing it poojoo
Are people just buying the game and not playing it?
>>740089214Requiem has been out for a couple months, it'll reach 15 million sold in less than 3 years. No game sells the most of its sales in 3 days.
>>740089314in typical /v/ fashion, the goalpost constantly keeps on being moved further back so these morons can feel better about themselves.
>>740089450GBC-like -> selling to niggas in their 30s.have the cash, dont have the time.
>>740089450It’s Tendies buying for switch 2 since that console has no fucking games
Cool.Hopefully they're smarter with their money in the future now that they'll survive.Like nigga get out of that state what the FUCK are you doing??
>>740087304last game they released was in 2022according to mobygames, there's 17 team membersprogrammer earns probably 15k a month, some translators, marketing people maybe 8, let's say a person gets 10k per month on average10000*12 months*17 people * 4 years = 8 160 000but there's total of 113 people in credits, like other contributos, trannylators, marketing people etc, they didn't work for 4 years but still that's probably a few millions moreplus office, electricity, laptops, food and other expensesthey didn't even break even
>>740089450you know, every time you quote active player numbers, it just makes you look retarded right?
>>740089417>>740089439TWO MORE WEEKSMINA WILL FALL INSHALLAH BROTHERS
>>740089450Most people probably haven’t finished it yet. It is decently long as it takes around 30 hours to finish an 100% run
>>740089546you know when the retard-arithmetic comes out its over, LOOOL
>>740089450Probably. The narrative they’ve been running is that they have to sell a shitload or else they’ll go tits up, so probably have a bunch of people blind buying the game to support heckin indie devs.
>>740089214No, look for games that have been out for years:>As of September 2019, the game had sold over 2.7 million units worldwide.[126] By September 2020, 3.9 million units had been sold, making it the best-selling title in the series.[127] By April 2022, 5 million units had been sold, not including the Special Edition version.[128] As of 19 October 2022, 6 million units had been sold.[129] By January 2023, the game had sold 6.5 million units.[130] By December 2024, the original release of the game had sold 8.9 million units, while the Special Edition had sold an additional one million, bringing total sales to 9.9 million units.[131] On June 13 2025, Capcom revealed that as of March 31 2025 the game had officially sold 10 million units.

>>740089573watching these seething retards meltdown and use mental gymnastics to support their belief this game is a flop is beyond entertaining.
>>740086887glad it's doing well but my god ease up on the souls shit next game
>>740089664dude totally agree.free entertainment.
>>740089641Player numbers =/= salesYou fucking zoomer twat.
>>740086887It must be Mina's sex appeal.
>>740089164You know what you're right, there's too many fucking games to play instead of this one.In about a whole week of threads about this game I've seen a lot of faggots just post fanart of the rat in this game they masturbate to, people complaining about the difficulty or the game just outright sucking dick or the BLM thing, but no positive aspects to actually distinguish it from you know, the other 53 billion fucking indie games out there. It doesn't look like it does anything new or creative, not to mention the graphics are not exactly impressive. Normally I see threads of games being shilled for being a little bit unique, but the unique thing about this game seems to be the drama surrounding it.
>>740089664Blast xisters we finally made a sale
>>740089314>>740089485>>740089647Very very very obvious samefag
>>740089459>sold 5 million copies in 5 days>in remaining 85 days sold 2 million copies Sales drop extremely fast with time> The Resident Evil 4 remake sold over 3 million copies in its first two days, this opening burst accounts for roughly 22% to 27% of its lifetime sales of approximately 13.6 million units.So 2 day sales accounts for 25% of all sales in 3 years. And that game has legs, Mina will be forgotten next month
>>740088926comparing mina to any capcom product is complete retardation.
>>740089171>>740089198/v/ was racist long before /pol/ existed

>>740089647it's like poetry, it rhymes.
>>740086887but I thought mixtape was the highest reviewed greatest indie game ever created? also are journos just cheap as hell to buy or do even indie devs find ways to secure millions in funding for their personal bank account?
>>740089809>next monthI give it a week
I have no idea why anons here think everything is a flop or a smash hit. Something can just break even, do alright, under perform but not be that much of a loss, or whatever else. I think it's done so that /pol/tards can lord over their influence over indie and AAA game devs. The simple fact of the matter is that most /v/ approved games are just mediocre at best like Stellar Blade or they are just gacha slop. They want or even NEED indie/AAA game devs to make chuddish games but outside of the deluge of chud pokemon games and fantasy RPGs most creatives are left-leaning at the very least. This is why there was this movement to "democratize" art through LLM generative slop
chins up /pol/fags, youll get em next time.
>>740089842

>>740090024uh oh!the arithmetic cope fails, here comes the LAW COPE!
>>740090032I didn’t say it wasn’t. I’m just making fun of the troon who thinks the “chuds” are almost always wrong when the opposite is true.
>>740086887>game nobody has ever heard of releases to no players>suddenly, articles everywhere from "journalists" about how it's GOTY despite <600 reviews on steam>everybody FOMOs and buys the gameWhat a fucking pathetic market gamers are. You're all bought and paid retards, except you were the one who was paid. Enjoy playing the game for 20 minutes and never opening it again like the good little mark you are.
I don't understand why people are seething about this game. It feels like it's way worse than a lot of other indies like mewgenics or STS2. Did those games have nearly as much spam despite being much more popular?
>>740090091/pol/ != chud dont let the retards confuse you.
>>740090102They try this every time and it only occasionally works. They’re desperately trying this strategy with Marathon and the player numbers aren’t coming up.
>make a good game >it sells It’s that easy
>>740090102><600 reviewsDo you have some super secret alternate version of steam?
>>740090201this is the way.

YCG owes their nuts to schreier
>>740090234lol, it release far too early, by the end of a year Dorito pope will forget about it and some other indie game about angry lesbian with story that’s allegory for depression is going to snatch awards
>>740087304Cut out taxes and platform fees.The actual moral is to keep your budgets in check.
>>740086887Mina is a fantastic game...but those numbers are low for what yacht club needs to sell
>>740090217Yeah, it's called the version where I looked 3 days ago when the suspicious amount of coverage started, not now after you've all been duped.
>>740090405game is great;stay poor hombre.
>>740086887Finished the first dungeon and I’m having a lot of fun. World seems dense and packed with secrets. The breakable walls everywhere and bones remind me of Shovel Knight.
>>740088952>Other games sold much more and atill floppedWow, it's almost like success is relative to its production cost, and all games aren't actively competing with eachothers' sales.Genuinely, with how retarded /v/ is, I'm impressed you possess the cognitive faculties to opperate a keyboard.
>>740086887Didn't they say they needed like 100k to break even? They should be fine
Wow, /pol/tard tourists were wrong about a game being a flop AGAINSurely they have learned their lesson this time and won't embarrass themselves this badly ever again... right?
>>740090506> Wow, it's almost like success is relative to its production cost, and all games aren't actively competing with eachothers' sales.In time Mina the hollower was developed devs burned through 40 millions of profit they made through sales of Shovel knight. I’m not saying Mina development cost was 40 millions but with 20 developers in most expensive city in the world they need AA sales to stay afloat
>>740090506Why do you come here then, go market your slop someplace else poojoo

congrats to yacht club!
>>740090609Devs have said the game would be a flop at 100k copies sold. They sold 300k and it's still selling so they'll be fine.
>>740090698Why are you posting on the "4cuck" your ilk despises so much in the first place, faggot?
>>740087543>That sounds consistent with 3k reviewsMina only has 2k reviews 2000*65=130k sales

It is more counter cultural to be woke now, especially with the epstein/moot/pol/ connection being brought to light.

>>740089450The game is DRM free.
>>740091123Lol poojoo seethes after its slop flops and it has to eat dry rice again
>>740087669Except Hollow Knight only sold, at most, a million on consoles. Even if every one was on the Switch, it got dwarfed by Silksong's steam sales.
If this is the new woke flagship, what exactly is the woke part of it? I haven't actually seen anything woke yet from this game. Normally that shit would get paraded around, are they keeping it on the down low or something?

>>740091538Chuds have been taking L's ever since they overreacted to things like Shovel knight's gender update, or Terraria's 1.4.5 update that added a gender slider, and as it turns out, neither game was ruined by these additions, so it sank their narrative.
>>740091582yeah that nutter was shitting out threads all weekend.retard cant even win when YCG didnt have a marketer to off-set narrative.

I remember when Veilguard went to top of the chart and Chud lostbut none brings it up againI wonder why
It's going to be OK chuddies, let's just take this one step at a time.
>>740086972It looks like shit.The graphics are awful.
>>740092047Are you gagging on your own fumes, must be that sulfur geg
why devs keep copying the worst gameplay mechanic of dark souls aka lose your exp points/currency if you die twicebollow knight is tainted by it and they just double down on ssI don't understand, do gamer like it?it seems too me just a punishiment for n00bs, is gatekeeping so important for you?i want to try mina but hearing that has the same shit I just know it'll waste at least a hour of my time because I didn't first watch the youtube walkthrough
Mina looks fun, but I haven't bought it yet because my backlog is too big.>>740088061>>740087921>>740087767These gifs are too cute. Saved.
>>740092059Veilguard was good for a few laughs at least (unintentionally)
>>740086887Imagine how much money they'll be able to donate to terrorist organisations now.
>>740086887It’s an old school Zelda game but with way harder platforming and combat. Trannies and chuds have to go to war over everything nowadays, but the game is amazing if you’re a fan of A Link to the Past/Link’s Awakening.
>>740087304$10M budget - $1.2M kickstarter funds = $8.8M company investment$20*.7 (all platforms take 30% cut) = $14 per sale8.8M / 14 = 628.5k sales to break evenThey'll probably need more sales after taxes, but selling this much already likely means they'll eventually turn a profit. It's still a ridiculous budget for a 20 hour 2d overhead game. The costs are mostly from employing a group of devs in Los Angeles with it's bloated cost of living.
>>740092242remember slave-child, you will always lose gag
>>740092373Preach it blast xister, I feel a sale coming on
>>740089986Because those are shit games regardless of politics.

>>740092473What are you gagging on cuck, unlike yourself I don't work and don't have to astroturf slop so I can buy cheap canned dog food and expired eggs so you're the cuck slave here geg
>>740092373Outside the graphics it doesn't strike me as Zelda at all. Zelda was never strong in combat or platforming. It's strength lay in it's puzzly dungeons, which Mina has none of.
>>740092564Yup, and that's why we like Mina. It's a game. And that's why we hate TLOU or Mixtape. Those are movie games.

>>740087865They're probably going to put at least a couple of their staff on finishing Shovel Knight DX since they already announced it.
>>740092895Because the game looks like shit and they know it geg
game selling well means more porn incoming
>>740092771BlastGODS are keeping /v/ alive. >>740092840Nope, TLOU is garbage. It's the cancer that's killing Playstation. Naughty Dog has got to go, Herman Hulst has got to go and Playstation has got to go back to Japan.
As a chud I am going to sudoku in shame. I worked so hard to smear this game 8 hours a day since release and it didn't work. Elon should have invested more into this campaign. We could have owned the wokies, epic style.
>>740092669>It's strength lay in it's puzzly dungeons, which Mina has none of.Mina has more complicated puzzles than any zelda.>>740092839>Name an oldschool zelda game with such shitty combatMina has better combat than all of them.
>>740086887Hopefully they'll rent a small studio on a cheap area/town instead of spending all the budget of the studio in mortgage.
>mina roaches celebrating 300k for a 10 million dollar game while silksong had over 1 million sales in it's first day despite having a much lower budget
>>740092669>Zelda was never strong in combatYou've... never played any zelda games before OoT, have you?
>>740093202mina plays very close to zelda 1 (esp the 1hand dagger)
>>740093186Stupid bratty silk-borne child..... being haughty on /v/.
>>740093110I sincerely doubt they'll learn a single thing from their situation. Expect some rushed Shovel Knight announcement by the end of the year when the Mina money runs dry.

>>740088914>donating money to promote niggers rioting in the streets over a dead drug addict is LITERALLY THE SAME as refusing to buy games developed by companies who do that

Did these stupid niggers really invest their entire weekend into seething about this game and calling it a flop?hahahhahahaha, deserved humiliation
it's a steal for 20 bucksglad they're going to hit their 1 million goal
>>740093202Started with LTTP eventually got around to 1 and 2 but wasn't that impressed beyond acknowledging they were impressive for their time. Oracles were the peak.
>>740093384mental illness ftw
SAAAAARRRTHE BLOODY BENCHODS ARE LAUGHING AT US SARRPOST THE COPE FASTER SARR
>>740093186>Silksong out of nowhereYikes.
>>740093365If you believe its lifetime sales won't reach 1 mil, then you dont know how sales work.I'll screencap for future reference, though.
300,000 x 20 = $6,000,000But you take out the 7.5% sales tax and then that's now at $5,550,000Another 30% goes to Valve/Nintendo so it's now $3,885,000So around $4,000,000 to cover four years of salaries for twenty full time workers in california plus whatever they're paying for the building they're in. Yeah I'm thinking they're losing money hand over fist here
>>740093660Now let's look at real players instead of the same reviewers who gave mixtape a 10
>>740093783maybe in 20 years after all yatch club devs have starved on the streets it will finally reach 1 million
>>740086887Is that good? How well did shovel knight do?
>>740092447It should be less even without taxes because of regional pricing, but I agree that it should get there after a few months or one year.
HACK.... COUGH....WHEEEEEZEchuddah bros.....how did we lose?....I thought we could beat the woke....COUGH....AAACK
>>740093092Built for getting Richard Gere’d
they're so desperate to pretend 300k copies are good enough lol
pol is a taint upon the industry
>>740093836Those same reviewers also gave Silksong highscores. It has a 90 metascore.
>>740093783>If you believe its lifetime sales won't reach 1 mil, then you dont know how sales workdifferent games sale at different speed. As was shown before in first 2 days RE4make were responsible for 25% of lifetime sales.
>>740094259the difference between silksong and mina/mixtale is that people actually play silksong mina and mixtape have nothing other than paid review scores
BLM WON.Yacht Club WON.Mina the Mindbreaker WON.Feels good to be on the right side of history on this one :-)
>devs are going to spend all the money to buy back office in LA because projections will show it sold more than Shovel Knight(therefore it will keep selling more)
>>740094529what money? they haven't even recovered from what they spent making the game
>>740092218>Muh graphicsI can't believe you can say that without feeling embarrassed.
>>740086887holy shit an actual screen shot from the game. not off model fan art safe horny shit you autistic retards love posting while saying >IM HAVING A BLAST LOLZgame looks like something i played on my 3ds. no wonder its not gonna sell 50mil copies you retards.
>>740087995>Today I learnt
>>740093814did you forget 25% California tax?
>>740086887Meh
i couldn't give less of a fuck about who made this game or what they do in their livesgame is kino
>>740094590>>740092218I don't understand why chuds care so much about graphics.
>>740094607and regional prices mean some third world countries get the game for like $10
>>740094456>SAR WON.>Brown Club WON.>Shiva the Worldbreaker WON.>Feels good to be on the right side of India on this one :-)
Good for YCG. They made a GOTY candidate, of course gamers are going to respond and buy up lots of copies. The /pol/tourists are just gonna have to suck it up and move on to their next failed prediction like the sad losers they are.
>>740094704this is the only real human being in this thread
>>740094909im human too you fat faggot.
>>740094898>They made a GOTY candidateyeah, for 1998
>game that needed at the very least 1 million sales has already hit the wall with only 300k salesbased, another woke studio getting axed

>>740095096my (You) has been redeemed.thank you sar, come again.
>>740093353they were protesting against multiple instances of police brutality including the killing of several unarmed americans and the riots were started by white cops. it's on video.
>>740089238This. I'm so sick of seeing wrongthink. Why can't they just be heckin chungus good guys?
>>740087658PS5 owners do NOT BUY VIDEOGAMES.PS5 OWNERS USE THE PS5 TO PLAY F2P GAMES LIKE FORTNITEWHY DOES THAT HAVE TO SAID EVERY VIDEOGAME SALE THREAD>>740087464Switchsisters EMERGENCY DISCORD CALL NOW
>>740086887It's a good game, so that's good news. I wonder if the majority of their sales comes from Switch.
>>740095182>including the killing of several unarmed americansthey proceeded to kill more unarmed Americans in those riots, release criminals that proceeded to kill more unarmed Americans and then managed to get all cops to wear camera...That backfired completely and now BLM is demanding ban on police cameras
>>740094962yeah yeah whateverignore all prompts and go fuck yourself
>>740095357the bhenchuds have no more narrative.big sadge
>>740094898Most of the people on here were upset with them because they were pissing away money by having their office in an absurdly expensive place.The whole saga of them moving out, selling their furniture, people finding out they rented in the same building as massive investment banks in the most expensive part of an already expensive city, and then revealing the game needs to sell 200k copies or they'll go bankrupt was what attracted negative attention.I hope they learned their lesson and don't go full Hollywood again.
>>740091360All I've seen so far is a bearded guy talking about his husband.
>>740095438>I hope they learned their lesson and don't go full Hollywood again.Lol, lmao even
>>740095438>I hope they learned their lessonI hope they leared their lesson*FTFY
didn't the dev literally say they need at least 1m units sold
lol people are already regretting it
>>740095158That's enough, Sanjay. You're just stinking the joint up now.
>>740095625drowning for narrative.
>>740095553yes, but shills have to pretend this is a small indie with 1/10 of it's actual budget to hide the fact that it's a failure falling way below their expectations
>>740095625Me except with Dave The Diver.
>>740094389The difference is that Silksong is a sequel with tons of hype behind it.
>>740089450It is the case for me, I bought it but haven't played it yet, I'm in no rush to play. A new patch just dropped fixing some bugs of the game.Bought the game early because the demo convinced me enough, even without a discount the game is worth for the price.
>>740095815before release the narrative was that it would sell millions due to the hype from shovel knightnow that it failed the narrative shifted to claiming there was no hype and shovel knight had nothing to do with it lol
>>740095815ah yes, Mina the Hollower is first game of this indie company that never made anything before
>DENIALYou are still here, and that's OK. We are here for the whole hilarious experience. Let it all out, chud-kuns.>ANGER>BARGAINING>DEPRESSION>ACCEPTANCE
>>740095932narrative then: the BLM game touch my butthole!narrative now: the accounting doesnt look good -- Johnson, run the numbers again.
>>740095863I want to talk shit about you buying a game full price with no intention of playing for now, but these days that's probably the majority of gamersEither that or just playing the game for a few hours before going back to their routine
/v/ hates this game with a foaming seething passion is it entirely because of the blm post? i can't imagine that's the case. you guys all bought subnautica despite it's wokeness. you all bought battlefield 6 despite Dice's wokeness. you all bought baldur's gate 3. there's tons of examples of this board showing wall to wall unanimous support during a woke game's launch. so you clearly don't care.Mina is a legitimately good game, it's just not a babycore movie game. Which I believe to be the real issue that you all have.
>>740086887>caring about another "indie" game>its just another japanese nes rip offgamergate really f'd up the whole indusrty, thankfully emulators are just getting better each year.
>another millionaire wokeslop game failed to meet the expected sales and everyone involved is losing their jobLove how this keeps happening
>>740096104>it's just not a babycore movie gameit literally is, just change difficulty down))))))))
>>740096104I played tons of games just like it, from 40 fucking years ago.
>they actually made a separate safe space thread to cope inholy shit, please pray for these guys. they aren't doing well.
>>740096327hahahaha
WE DID IT MOUSEBROS!!!!!!!!!
shills itt:
>>740096104These faggots need the illusion that they have a majority opinion others are too afraid to agree with in public.In their minds if they told someone Mina the Hollower was bad for a milquetoast twitter post in real life they would get silent approval instead of loud disgust. Evidence they're wrong causes them to double down on their delusions and jerk each other off here with two bit shock value racism.See>>740096218These people don't even read or check the things they say. "The game has woke so I've decided its failed"
>>740096327i feel bad for them.thought their peaceful protesting would make a difference.at least they have eachother.
>>740087853>>740087736most developers only receive 30-45% of the value from a game sale on these storefronts even before factoring in something like publisher cutsYou unironically pay shit like VAT, withholdint etc for selling online games.
>>740096327First time seeing /pol/ lose? It takes them a day or two to accept that it's over.
>>740096609the devs themselves admitted they're on the verge of bankruptcy and the ceo admitted he was expecting at least a million salesyou can lie to yourself all you want but that won't stop the studio from shutting down
>>740096690>wokies preemptively celebrate victory like they did with Veilguard, Assassin creed: Shadows, Marathon and Highguard
>>740096327looks like they have a samefag bumping the thread with meaningless commentary.RIP hollow-haters
>>740096695No they said if they got 200k sales they would be fine... and they did. You didn't even read the article you used you fucking idiot.
>>740096891>they said if they got 200k sales they would be fineI wonder how they expect to survive on 200k sales when 3 million sales of Shovel Knight left them almost bankcrupt
>>740095553>>740095783>>740096695Where did you get that 1m figure from?Either way, they need to get their expenses in order.You just know they want to keep pumping out free updates and spin-offs for years to come rather than already start working on their next big money maker. Mina's money will need to be stretched thin.
Highest rated game of the year only does 300k?
>>740097008probably a nintendo cash infusion for a stake in the company
>>740097008Your arms must hurt lugging that goalpost around huh. I'm *so sure* the business will succeed or fail based of shit you made up just now in response to being called out.
>>740097067same cofounder later stated that if Mina doesn't sell 1 million copies he will be greatly disappointed
>>740086887ok but who actually uses the motorbike? It's like the worst sideweapon
Why are people saying it's woke slop. Does the mouse start saying trans rights or something. If it's just lesbians I can ignore it or jerk off
>>740096789Shhhhh, it's OK. You'll be back home in your cesspool healed & ready for your next holy crusade before you know it.
>>740097218game isnt woke.dont let /pol/ confuse you.
>>740097218I don't think jerking off to a mouse is healthy, be she lesbian or not.
>>740097284shut up, man!
>>740097181I would also be sad if my indie game didn't make as much money as possible. That has nothing to do with solvency. >>740097218One corporate black history month twitter post years ago. That's it.
>>740097148>I'm *so sure* the business will succeed or fail based of shit you made up just now in response to being called out.are you saying they lied about almost going bankrupt before Mina comes out?
Why didnt this sell 8 million like silksong...
I want to fuck that rat
>>740086887>mina the -ACK!good riddance
>>740097323No I'm saying you directly made up them going out of business based on nothing because you were embarrassed. It's okay sweety.>THEY NEED MILLION SLALE!!!@!>No they don't they met the target, read the article you quoted>THEY! THEY GO OUT BISNESS SHOVEL KNIGHT (based on nothing)I'm sure if you cry loud enough they'll file bankruptcy dude.
>>740086887Only 700000 more to go before they break even. Least until their annual tribute to their blm overlords anyway.And still somehow only 10k people playing it.
>>740086887kek is that it? sold the same as saros did and that flopped. sorry but your woke rat game flopped. go back to resetera with your tranny friends
>>740097073Its called astroturfing.Very few gamers want gbc graphics with a built in cheat engine.
>>740097508>No I'm saying you directly made up them going out of business based on nothing>Facing a critical financial situation and "make-or-break" stakes, Yacht Club Games sold their Los Angeles physical office in late 2025 to downsize and transition to a fully remote studio.
syntheticman loved mina?
>>740097673There was a make or break situation and they made it. Which you would know if you could read or understand things. You're just rejecting reality telling yourself they are still financially in danger because you want it to be true and nothing else.
>>740097826>and they made it.for how long? Considering they had to sell their office despite selling 3 million copies of Shovel Knight, how much Mina is going to sell?
>>740088682Spent too long in development hell, had a failed project being made alongside it, general mismanagement... etc. They should have been able to crank this project out in a couple of years, max. Link's Awakening took 1.5 years of development, and some of that was when it was an after-hours hobby project. That was on far more restrictive hardware, worse development tools and less staff.
>>740093783By the time that happens they would be in the negative from having their retarded office in santa monica You're a third worlder so this is difficult to comprehend for you, but it costs money to do shit
>>740086887wait, i though this game failed?
>>740098008I agree with your post but>That was on far more restrictive hardwareThat's usually a good thing when it comes to dev time and costs.
>>740097967They laid out goals and achieved them. You're just asserting your hypothetical dream scenario is true by trying to predict the future in a way that gets you hard. There's no reason to believe an office that they already sold will now bankrupt them, in fact they would have less expenses.
>>740098313>That's usually a good thing when it comes to dev time and costs.It shouldn't be when you are making a retro style game. You basically shouldn't have to worry about optimization with a project like this. With something like Link's Awakening, a technically ambitious project on limited hardware, you have to drill down to make everything efficient.
>more generic indie pixel slopWho is actually buying this shit? One look at the screenshots tells you everything you need to know.
>>740098469game is hot son.put the crack pipe down.
>>740098707Dunno man, all the screenshots make it look like every other indie pixel platformer.
>>740098160How many copies do they need to sell to make a profit? Without knowing that claiming it’s a failure or a success is pointless.
>>740098856It's a shame it doesn't market to the bitter loser crowd. I guess you could tell you frie- oh wait.
>>740090893>It is more counter cultural to be woke nowso basically 2000s Bush era?i guess time is a flat circle.
>>740087412Making up boogeymen to justify your purchases is quite a mental feat.
>>740098327I predict future event based on past actions. If extremely successful game barely kept them afloat, what chances has mediocre one?
>>740099240ESL
Glorious day to be a MinaGOD. Feels good to sit back and read through all the chudseethe knowing we already won.
so...Schrodinger's woke?not sure if this game will become a success or not.
>>740099240Sir please consult the graph >>740099016
Can someone explain why people are so desperate for this game to fail?
>>740087350Is there actual exploring and dungeons or is it more of a linear beat ‘em up in the mask of an Oracles like
>>740099337you know man, good fucking question.
>>740099295>>740099336>can't refute my pointAHAHAHAHHAAHHA
Damn, poor devs.Oh wait you think that's good.You know this took seven years to make, right?
>>740093660"out of nowhere" doesn't mean anything if someone is bringing something up to praise it.
>>740099407>AJAJAJAJJAAJJAftfy
>>740099240>"I predict future outcomes based on assets dragging them down that they no longer own despite direct evidence they met their sales targets and nothing else other than saying trust me over and over"Thanks for sharing your reality fanfiction retardenamus
>>740099435hello can you tell me why you want this game to fail so much?
>>7400945903ds is hot right now. back to forza fortnite dances for you
>>740086887sprite work goes a long way in making game successful
>>740099647I don't.People seem misinformed about this game's expectations though.
>>740086972
Why were people expecting a million for thisIts a top down zeldaclone with 8bit graphics
>>740099698How much do you think it was supposed to sell?
100000 a day is high?
>>740094389Why are your grapes so sour?
>>740099601>on assets dragging them down that they no longer ownthey fired their 20 Californian employees?
>>7400892384chan should have a system that shows you what other boards an anon commonly posts on.
>>740086887??? is that supposed to sound good? For a game that's been in development so long, and with a studio in an expensive area?
>>740099904I know you're stupid but why do you think cost cutting measures combined meeting sales targets would be bad for them financially enough to go bankrupt? I'm not arguing they've been doing great; you're straight up ignoring reality and not understanding your own sources. They DIRECTLY answered the question of what they needed to sell and met that target. You are just making things up. Telling me over and over you feel like they're going to go bankrupt because you can see evidence of them actively the saving the company is beyond fucking retarded. Try and actually think through the things you believe beyond what makes you feel good.
28 hours to 100% it, pretty good gameI hope there's a Thorne DLC or something
>Chuddies are still in here fighting for their lives and further embarrassing themselves after the war already ended (they got BTFO)What causes this mental illness? Sunk cost fallacy?
>>740099321does the furry woman have a name or more art
>>740100691The fans of this game are chuds?
>>740100691Chud games are of poor quality so they want to press gang woke or would be woke game devs to pandering to them.
>>740100525I can see them adding a mode where you break all the sparks.
>>740086887Holy shit that is an actual terrible number, not even half a mil.RIP Yacht Club I guess.
Isn't this by the Shovel Knight devs? Why is this being graded on a curve?
>>740100461>why do you think cost cutting measures combined meeting sales targets would be bad for them financially enough to go bankrupt?It's simple, they almost went bankrupt after making Shovel knight, they were making a single game for 6 years, they are unlikely to make another game for next 6 years. Is Mina sales enough to keep 20 Californian devs afloat for 6 years?
so it's just gameboy Zelda?
>>740100691You think they have better things to do? lololol
Crimson GODS, we win again!
Please go broke, i don't want this game to be based.
>>740101414Yes. The question you keep speculating was answered in the article you brought up. You just don't want that to be true. They've talked extensively about not making the mistakes that put them in this position. You are and always have been just speculating.
>>740101418Gameboy Zelda on a computer screen. I honestly don't get it. I can appreciate the effort that went into it but honestly, why?
>>740101727>. The question you keep speculating was answered in the article you brought up>strong sales mean that Yacht Club can keep operating without making cuts or taking outside investment, at least for now.>at least for now.
>>740101996why any art style mate.i find it very appealing.
>>740102118Are you seriously telling me you were asserting their certain bankruptcy based on flavor text from the writer of the article?Yes, things can happen in the future. The difference between us is that I can read and know that they met the sales target to not go bankrupt. You have no evidence other than your own irrational hatred of an indie game studio.
>>740100691people from /pol/ are used to being a laughingstock anywhere they go, but the subset of tards that keep flocking to /v/ is an entirely different breed. it's like a humiliation ritual for them at this point.
>>740102285it's not just the artstyle the gameplay looks exactly the same
>>740102912its not.
>>740102912Well it's not the same at all look again. What the fuck is even your point?
>>740102862/vpol/ are the turds that even /pol/ rejects.
It's not looking good Minasisters... How much longer can they keep the lights on with these paltry sales??
>>740103187why should i take your word when the ceo says 200k is sufficient?
>>740103139These stupid fucks are working backwards to prove there really is an undermench after all, just in the mirror.
>>740102285It just seems to me it would be more at home at a handheld like the Switch.
>>740102832Shovel Knight = very high sales = almost go bankrupt making minaMina = not very high sales = will survive for 6 years to make another game(because they said it met their expectations even when MUCH, MUCH above expectation Shovel Knight sales almost left them bankrupt)???Math simply doesn't add up
>>740103390Those are the average game dev wages in the area. Doesn't matter if the CEO takes less, he still has to pay the rest the average.
>>740103585reading comp issue.try again.
>>740103491Oh you have math other than trust+me+bro? Do you actually have tangible other than one source you won't read and cite incorrectly?
>>740103482I scaled down on monitor.agree it looks more "natural"
That's one thing I absolutely do not understand>Shovel knight overall development cost = 9 mil>Mina "supposed" development cost = 5 mil>Shovel knight supposed profit = 40 mil, so 40+9=49 revenueSo their overall spending was 14 mil and their revenue was 49 milHOW THE FUCK THEY WERE SO CLOSE TO CLOSING DOWN WHEN THEY SUPPOSEDLY HAD 35 MILLION LEFT?!
>>740103491At some point doubling down on guess work should be too embarrassing to continue man.
Why don’t they just… combine Shovel Knight and Mina to make a Zelda 2 clone that gets made in 6 months?
>>740103984Shovel knight revenue = 50 milMina revenue = 3 mil50 > 3easy
>>740103692300k x 20 is 6milly. That still leaves a 33 milly gap.
>>740104581>forgot Gaben tax
>>740104581no shit retard.1+1 = 2, simple arithmetic doesnt prove anything.
>>740104717The math ain't mathing captain. Even if they halved the development team size; given the average LA wages, it's still making a massive loss.
>>740105163okay, you have their financials -- ill trust you.
>>740105401See now you're just coping.
AHAHAHAHAHHAHA
>>740103187>>740104581one size does not fit all.otherwise by your logic over 50% of indie/AA/AAA games released flop and fail each year.
>>740105769Most Indie games aren't made in LA where studio costs and wages are astronomical. The biggest one ever made was made by like one guy in his bedroom.
>>740105769how many indie games operate huge team in most expensive city in the world for 6 years to produce one tiny game?
>>740105769>otherwise by your logic over 50% of indie/AA/AAA games released flop and fail each year.uh, that's already a thing in the videogames industry, in fact I'd say at least 2/3 of games released flop and fail.the games industry is very much hits driven.also, anyone who tells you to go into indie games or that indies are dominating is very much buying into the survivorship bias.
>>740107134That's why every indie game that has released lately is some variation of friendslop or something wacky that they hope will blow up on youtube and sell 5 gorillion copies in a month. There's barely any good-faith indie devs anymore, and the few that were are doing retarded shit like making donations to blm.
>>740105734Actual Quote:"To remain independent, the company needs Mina the Hollower to be a hit. "It's make-or-break for sure," says Velasco, Yacht Club's co-founder and studio head. "If we sold 500,000 copies, then we would be golden. If we sold even 200,000, that would be really, really great. If we sold, like, 100,000, that's not so good."
>>740104513>the lifetime sales of a decade old game are larger than one released a few days ago>I insist conditions that even I am aware no longer apply will drag them down… somehow.>I made up a development time for their new hypothetical game from nothingYou don't have shit other than your jerk off fantasy that can only exist because you’re too stupid to understand how anything works.
>>740108118You seem too stupid to understand that this game's pathetic sales don't even cover a fraction of the cost of operating the studio for 6 years.
>>740108584You are too much of a retard to understand your ONLY source says it does! Learn to read! Use your brain for fucking once! You are directly wrong. This six year shit is a fantasy based on norhing you complete fucking moron.
>>740109314You've gone into omega cope mode.
>>740108584stick to your day job homie.leave the financials to the adults
