Why does it make shills and pajeets seethe so much?
It hardly sparks meaningful discussion and is usually only useful for measuring success which is overall pretty retarded in a subjective medium unless you are trying to make a living from said medium.
>>750270767That’s a good kreshtion w- Megaman
Numberfagging should have a general like /vt/
>>750270767They can't create narratives about dogshit woke games being successful if there's easily accessible hard data proving otherwise. Modern gaming is just propaganda transvestited as entertainment.
>>750270767Easily available empirical data that can shut down forced rhetoric.
Not a good metric cause steam is for poorfags and most users play free shit or games under $20
what psychological technique is it when an op sets the stage by saying something "makes X seethe"?
>>750270767Seeing undisclosed numbers makes their lie useless.
>>750270767it shut downs retards pushing narratives about which games are popular vs unpopular, the numbers are there for all to see
>>750270767because they prevent company shills from dictating the tone of discussion for a game's successthey're more than happy to just put out vaguely positive headlines about how amazing GAME is doing and shit like "don't miss out on this masterpiece everyone is totally playing!"tangible metrics allow regular people to call them out on their bullshit
>>750271068>It hardly sparks meaningful discussionNeither does anything on this board
>>750271673>>750271713>>750271720See>>750271540You lost, steams irrelevant
>>750271627it's thought terminating tacticsif you can frame the person with a particular perspective as irrationally emotional, you can comfortably dismiss their position as such without engaging with the argument itself
>>750271880then what does it matter that they release the data to make the charts?
>>750271627>observe facts>state facts that have been undeniably observed>this is a "psychological technique"
>>750270767Because it shows that game companies aren't making money and brings to light the obvious corruption of how they stay in business Something fishy is going on just look at wolverine? Sony should be filing for bankruptcy
>>750270767Because it's one of the things marketing niggers that plague this forum can't lie about.
>>750272024Oops you cannot ask that anon. Think of the expectation of the shareholders. What if they found out the real numbers?
