I kinda hate those YouTubers that put their face in the thumbnail of a video. So self centered.
Those are proven to bring in more views. The dumber the expression, the better, apparently. Makes me completely avoid the video when I see a moron making a face. Or any sort of circle or arrow in the thumbnail. I'll seriously go out of my way to find a video without those, when searching for a certain topic.

What is Silent Hill supposed to move in 2024 anyway? Most people identify with the IP via the films and they haven’t made one in a while.

Once more, our PC gamers show that they aren’t buying games. This is yet more confirmation that Sony simply doesn't rely on this platform.
is this supposed to be bad

Lol calling me a snowflake.

When you anti woke/dei clowns are melting down over anything.

I find both sides obnoxious and are a bunch of clowns.

They are acting more like the Karen's, outrage culture and cancel culture that they stood up against lol. Not saying their view is wrong but the way people are acting now days. I guess they believe they need to be as vocal and mirror them to fight it?

Wait…

Are implying a $5 game selling 2 million copies on PC as being not very niche?

You literally just made those figures up, but more importantly missed figures you can't ignore. The movie did 300 million at the box office on a budget of 20 million...

FNAF had the community driven story and focus on gameplay with a shit tons of replayability going for Itself, where SH2R is a one and done, slow and quiet horror game focused on ambience. It's not a fun game to watch streamers play, especialy for normies.

It's highly ranked on twitch right now...

For the lulz, this game has over 16k downloads just in a single torrent site. This has probably over 50k downloads at the moment.

PC gamers = scum

Made up? lol
Movie? lol

What are you talking about?
You quoted a post about games.. talked about game and now come here about movie?

The game is niche on both console and PC.

The game has sold millions of copies. Those people tuned into the movie at the theaters.

No one serious thinks this franchise is niche. I guess compared to GTA, but for an average game? Certainly not.

GTA5 already did way way way way more than Wukong numbers on PC releasing years after way way way way more than Wukong numbers on console.

And you come to talk about bad take lol
You said GTA 6 wouldn't do numbers on Day 1 on PC. You pretty much never make sense. Might be the language barrier, your english needs a bit more work.

Because It just released? Let the few streamers beat it once. Give it 3 days max.

You realize this is going to be a huge streamer this weekend right? It's like you've never even heard of halloween and that October is now Halloween month online...

I never said anything about GTA6.
I said Rockstar never do day one on PC because it maximize sales.

So if your issue is language barrier I will explain better…

Day One sales on console + sales from PC after > Day One sales on console and PC.

I said too that PC sales on day one are lower than consoles and you can look it in tons of examples.

Let’s get a big game… The Witcher 3 sold more at launch on consoles… after years PC not just tied with console as it overcome the sales of consoles.
Same case for From Software games.

That is why I said PC users buys games in cheap fire sales while consoles buys more at full price day one.

I would leave rockstar games out of every comparison. They have a different level of push.

The heart of the matter is: is it worth leaving the PC fan base without access to the real money maker GTA Online 2 for a year?

Rockstar seems to believe this is the case and that sales from double dippers would offset that impact. All while PC gamers keep playing GTA Online. At the end of the day, a shark card is a shark card in GTA online or online 2.

Millions like 2 million on PC… yeap.
It is niche.

Or do you believes these JRPGs that sells 1-2 million are popular?

First, would love to see where you're getting 2 million from.

Second, I would love for you to explain to me how 2 million has suddenly become niche...
