What the hell does the PS store have to do with our debate?

Didn’t Sony sell games in the 90s?

Didn’t Nintendo? Why were Rare games more expensive than other games on launch?
Rare games cost more because they used additional chips in order to have higher graphical output. In the cartridge era the price of upscale games was dictated by what was in the cart.

Though probably the best example was late era Genesis sports games, which were super expensive due to the "massive" size of their audio quips. Real Talk Football really made you pay for that "real" talking.

Lego cares surely about money earned on many platforms as possible




Lego cares about earning money, like every normal company.
Please go look at the latest sales of Lego games on Steam. That shit is embarrassing. Lego needs those pennies or no games for Horizon 🤡

Imagine a guy thinking that company with multiplatform franchise had sold on PC all this time... and have data with it sales on PC... doesn't care about PC at all.

That is who you replied to.
Aww and yet most of their sales are from PS and Switch... But you wanna be a contrarian so bad at times.🥱

Lego has always done licenses with multiplatform IP's or movie IP's but I don't expect you to understand why they can't call the shots for Horizon.

These are the data I have...
  • LEGO Star Wars series: 50 million as of June 2019
    • LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 5 million as of June 2022
  • LEGO Batman: 12.81 million as of November 2014
  • LEGO Batman 2: 3.4 million as of February 2013
  • LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4: 2.7 million in first month.
  • LEGO Jurassic World: 4 million as of October 2015
How much of that is PC, PlayStation or Wii I don't know....
But I'm willing to bet it is not just a few ks.

Edit - I found updated data.

Yeap I have a really hard time to believe LEGO games didn't sell millions on PC.

Somehow I think this is Lego's decision, much like MLB. Still on Sony to secure their IPs, though. Hope it's worth it to them.
They could port it to PS4 and get way more value.

Since when is PC essential for Lego games? I literally never heard there was this huge untapped market for lego games on PC before TODAY. Somehow Lego has all the pull against Sony and they need PC.

We have access to data and this narrative is completely fake. Minecraft is not Lego, but before any of you bring it up, look at this Minecraft-clone that was released a few months ago by Square.

These awful stats are similar to the 2 Lego games I posted earlier. Where is this huge market?

You guys need to stop coping and making excuses.

If this is true, it's the end for PlayStation. Xbox is dead, PC is super dead, so that leaves SuperSwitch because Nintendo aren't super morons.

PC dead? Nope. They (specifically, Steam) are getting all the big, medium & small 3P games Day 1 that used to be only on consoles (mainly PlayStation), aside from exceptions like GTA6. But quite a few of the other big games are PC/Steam-exclusive for months if not years, if not permanently. Baldur's Gate 3, HADES 2 (early access), No Rest For The Wicked (same), Star Citizen (full PC exclusive), VALORANT, League of Legends, World of Warcraft, DOTA2, Counterstrike 2 are just a few examples.

I wouldn't take some of these sales figure reports with PC listed to represent the full state of that part of the industry. For example with Circana/NPD, PC/Steam game sales by and large aren't covered because the publishers of those games (often also the dev if it's an indie) don't opt-in for Circana/NPD tracking. And, it's the same in many other markets.

Meanwhile stuff like World of Warcraft, VALORANT, League of Legends etc. aren't even covered by sales trackers and don't pop up on Steam, but we know they bring in a ton of money. Also ironically, both Microsoft and Sony are making PC an even more lucrative option going forward, but it's Sony who look like the ultimate idiots here. Because, unlike Microsoft, Sony have no vested interests in PC whatsoever; they're just wholly reliant on Valve (Steam) to provide the platform that PS Studios are subserviant to, in order to get their PC sales which are magnitudes less than on console (tho that might be changing...at the expense of console sales).

Yeah the LEGO collabs have done well but were declining (you can milk Harry Potter and Star Wars only so much) so it makes sense also from their cross-media blabla to do this. Do a LEGO game, movie and get toys/sets out there.

Got a buddy who is going to spend 300 euro on the Deku Tree Lego set.. Horizon already got the Tallneck collab and there is much more potential to do sets with all the various machines.

It's good Sony offering more family friendly titles like Astro and Lego Horizon. Regarding PC, yeah a head-scratcher.

From now on, you will keep seeing the changing goalposts from these defenders. Now, it is "just a Lego game", tomorrow it will be "just a walking sim game". They are either not shrewd or just blindly ignore all the not-even-that-obscure signs that Sony is retardedly destroying the brand.

Somehow they need PC to recoup the cost of the LEGO license. They might as well cancel it if they have to no faith in their own platform 🤡

Do we still not have a developer for this? Is it Guerilla or the WB team?

Sorry not sorry - you're wrong about PC. The dolts who make up its defence force - the steamlickers as I affectionately call them - have it in their heads that CCUs and F2P MTX revenue are comparable to premium customers who spend on hardware, software, subscriptions AND MTX.

China and Korea, the only two outliers in the global VG market, and the only ones that make up the enormous difference in revenue to the console market (it's more like 10:1 without them) are being invaded by consoles. SK's own government wants to invest in growing the console market.

Which makes these short-sighted moves by Sony all the more baffling.
