The fact that almost 900k people bought a dice game with the most boring ass combat imaginable ( where you can't cast a spell more than once without resting at camp) should tell you everything about the state of modern gaming. These are not bots. These are mindless sheep flocking to the table to roll a 20 to open a chest because this makes dopamine rush to their brain.

to be counted on steam charts you need to own the game. bots or not they boughted the game

That's not what artificial looks like. Constant spikes means that the game is extremely popular in a very specific region. The same thing happened to Wukong.

Why do schizophrenics always come up with the most childish explanations as to why the thing they don't like is so popular?
>>
>>744715203
>( where you can't cast a spell more than once without resting at camp)
but you can cast a spell more than once without doing a long rest, the number of spell slots is the thing thats limited
and even then the actual shitty part is that you always can just teleport yourself to your camp for a quick long rest and then go back to mopping the floor with your enemies like spell slots are not even a thing mechanically

Yes. It was sitting at 1 million for months. 1 million. A dnd RPG.

It didn't even reach concurrents of Elden Ring and it was just early access players going in all at once. It's a flop without sales numbers released, of course there are bots hired to make it seem like it's a success for the sole reason woketards have no other product that is even close to looking like a woke win.
>>
>>744715203
Concurrent =/= sales. It sold over 20M

Why do chuddies always have a meltdown when their "go woke go broke" concept fails?
>>
why the fuck would bots be playing a single-player game
>>
>>744716889
If you want the honest answer it’s because we’re so accustomed to the theory holding true that on the rare occasions when it doesn’t we get particularly annoyed and focus all our fire on that one target. Basically we’re suffering from success.
>>
>>744716880
>It sold over 20M
You can wipe your ass with anything said to or by a journo.
Release the sales officially in writing, thus risking fraud charges in case the numbers are false, and then we'll talk.
Otherwise the number looks like nothing else but "trust us guys we sold just like Elden Ring!"
>>
>>744716837
>it's a flop
mega cope, holy fuck the things you fags say

The game wasn’t even good either. You could tell everyone had only played a few hours of ACT I and then stopped.

The magic system, the combat rulings, nothing being explained unless you know 5th Ed, narrative being some plucked from a Critical Role episode.

It was a 7/10 game with good dialogue branching and voice acting with subpar everything else that (((somehow))) won GOTY from multiple outlets.

>It's a flop without sales numbers released
didn't Swen say 20 million copies back in 2025?
>>
>>744716936

>>
>>744716963
Swen historically doesn't know how much his games sell.
And if the number were true, they would've posted it in writing because there would be no reason not to.

>>
>>744717094
Easy, actually, he may just not care and avoid knowing the truth just to lie more convincingly.
In any case, no official studio post with the sales numbers in writing = flop.

The verification of success of a videogame is actually pretty simple, just three things.
1) the official sales numebrs in writing (bg3 does NOT have this)
2) the concurrent player record on steam (bg3 has this)
3) gameplay webms on /v/ that show the game is played by people that are not influencers (bg3 doesn't have this)
And funnily enough, the only "good" webms are posted by the dev who thinks showcasing the verticality of the levels with a featherfall jump is showing gameplay.
>>
>>744717162
Pretty much every normie that likes D&D is playing BG3 with friends or solo instead of bothering with the actual 5E since BG3 is better. You have to see how many mods BG3 is getting. BG3 and Cyberpunk 2077 are the new Skyrim.
>>
>>744715969
DnD was not designed to be a video game as it turns out, Solasta has this issue also.
Spell Slots work in DnD because the GM can force you into a situation where long resting isn't available.
>>
>>744712589
That's not a theory, it's retards screeching & coping with make-believe because a game they dislike was successful.
>>
>>744717094
Why should I trust a CEO over the embassy of his own country in china, who said the game only sold 5mil?
>>
>>744717318
>GM can force you into a situation where long resting isn't available
There are situations like that in BG3 but unless you're playing honor mode which allows for only a single save you can always savescum back to an earlier point.
>>
>>744717429
^is this a bot? It regurgitates the same talking points all the time.
>>
>>744717318
Yeah.
But if a game is using D&D rulesets it sort of has to adhere to the spell slot retardation.
And granted, even in TTRPG rules it's now as lenient as it ever was, vancian casting used to demand even greater preparation and slot management.
Vidya devs just get around it by making long resting easy but it also creates the issue that they balance almost every fight as a fresh 100% resources one or beatable even if you are completely out of resources and both end results are middling.

BG3 is basically a 5e homebrew anyway and isn't trying to be rules as written DnD as many mechanics and spell behaviours are different, seems like a problem they could have solved if they wanted to.

You could always keep the slots and have them refresh per encounter, maybe limiting or reducing their total slots to account for that.

RPGs are ass, but it is what it is.
>>
>>744717462
You shill the same game for 3 years and since you could never counter this argument it's being reusednti your unending dismay.
Yes I will keep pushing the fact they are avoiding fraud charges and it's the reason the only mention of sales is with a throwaway interview to a journal that can be claimed to be marketing and you having to calculate them yourself with easily fakeabke dog pets numbers and achievement percentages on steam - the number YOU came up with is legally distinct from the sales numbers they didn't actually release, and they get to avoid accountability that way.
And the fact of that avoidance is a confirmation of the flop.

Could, but haven't, Blackrock has to legally disclose all their grants, remind me how much money Blackrock has given to Larian in the form of grants?

Let me save you some time, the answer is $0.

You can now pivot and say that Blackrock boughted've $400+ million in copies of BG3 instead, conceding that they did in fact sell those 20 million copies Swen was referring to, but now you can just argue that Blackrock buyed all those copies resulting in the aforementioned revenue that Larian disclosed which would be a more sustainable argument that you can now regurgitate for all future BG3 threads you make.
