You are claiming he doesn't have sources and are wrong!? He can't prove negative.
If you claim, he doesn't have, or they are wrong, you have to prove it, it isn't his place to prove your claims.
This is so basic. Fucking hell.
Rumor: Dragon Age: The Veilguard is selling worse than Star Wars Outlaws
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date

It's a success but they don't need to tell you yet. Alright, problem is that a 5 figure CCU on Steam doesn't seem enough for an expensive game like Dragon Age. Was it a huge success on Xbox maybe?
Let's hear some of these reasons. What everyone is thinking is: Jason celebrated prematurely then someone from Bioware contacted him and he learned the truth, at that point the little bitch deleted his tweets. Do you have something better?
1) Endymion wakes up, shits out a video where he claims he has sources (as he has done for ages now with no actual hits).You are claiming he doesn't have sources and are wrong!? He can't prove negative.
If you claim, he doesn't have, or they are wrong, you have to prove it, it isn't his place to prove your claims.

2) Gediminas gullibly believes him.
3) Impulse calls bullshit.
4) Gediminas asks Impulse to prove that Endymion has no sources.
Do you actually see what is happening in this chain of events? You are believing the guy claiming to have info just for claiming it, and asking me to prove a negative.
CCUs are never a good way to judge sales for a singleplayer game to begin with, for a lot of reasons, including:
- People finish games, or drop them and they leave. They don't stay on for extended periods for the multiplayer like they do with say, COD or Fortnite or FF14.
- Lots of people buy a game and don't get to it immediately.
- There is no way to distinguish if each concurrent person is a returning or new customer (Steam definitely can tell this tho, they're keeping this data confidential for obvious reasons).
- Lots of sales on the publisher side happen on third party sites and are not redeemed yet (example: I bought Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D on GreenManGaming, I still didn't get the game code, from Square's persepective, I'm a confirmed preorder even though Steam might not reflect it yet).
- It only reflects Steam CCUs, Epic, EA CCUs are not reflected, nor are console numbers.
A game can have strong Steam CCU and not get enough revenue to make the publisher happy (The Finals is an example), and it can have a "weaker" CCU and still have good sales (Silent Hill 2 and Metaphor are examples).
I don't care to explain why a guy would delete a post? We don't know why he did it, and we might never know.
What I am saying here is to look at why everyone pays so much attention to Jason, despite him being a certifiable dick: He is generally very well-informed on the gaming industry and has proven his chops. Same goes for someone like Shinobi or (to a lesser degree) Grubb, you may not like them, but they have a track record of being reliable.
Meanwhile I'm supposed to listen to this Endymion dude because.. why? What has he contributed to the gaming scene? What scoops did he ever have?
We are waiting your sources. Your yapping doesn't help your case.

I guess the next thing you won't agree with archive.is
Yes of course, there's 3 possible reasons a journalist would delete a tweet about a game being very successful:
1 - he was wrong.
2 - he wasn't correct
3 - he wasn't correct and he was wrong

Hmm. Under 3 million for launch window (six months) and that might be the last dragon age game for another decade.
If the next Mass Effect doesn’t pull a redemption arc BioWare might get shuttered.
Mass Effect’s director distanced himself from Veilguard since it launched tho. Someone at BioWare may see the writing in the wall… I hope.

We've been hearing this redemption arc argument since Andromeda.
It's not going to happen. Current day Bioware is three quarters gender ideology activist, one quarter game developer. There's almost nothing worth saving.
You confuse CCU numbers for F2P games with P2P games. CCU is a much more useful when gaging P2P because every player has purchased the game.
CCU is a terrible metric for single player games since most are not meant to be replayed for thousands of hours with no end. A 6 hour game will never have a high ccu for instance. Most will be done within a day or two.
Ccu can telegraph launch hype but you cannot draw comparisons to sales like you could an online game. In particular for online games ccu is a decent metric to see if players actually legitimately like a game… they’ll keep playing
Some open world, open ended and sandbox driven single player games can have such longevity. These are the 300 hr plus rpgs with a variety of ways to time sink.

@Gediminas DEMANDS Evidence of Endymion's RETARDATION!! He is AFRAID!!!!!!That guy is a total lunatic.
