Who the fuck wrote that article? Adamsapple? It says Hifi Flush annihilated Forspoken sales but Hi-Fi wasn't in any sales charts for January or February? Made up numbers from Xbots.
Forspoken Had Around $100 Million Budget | Op Attack
Forspoken is apparently bombing hard, as Square Enix claims sales of the game (which cost $100 million to make) are "lackluster"opattack.com

Didnt read that. Yeah this must be a green team grabbing for straws twist lol
Goddamn $100 million budget ?
There's not enough trash cans in Brazil that can fill all that output

And why would people be throwing that in my country? That’s a blatantly lie.Goddamn $100 million budget ?

Isn't that Forspoken in the dump cans video from Brazillian twitter? At least I thought it was.
also since y'all removed the link, whatever that source was, it wasn't the origin of the $100 million rumor, it was via the linked in of a writer on the game.
One video from a random person. I live here and I interact with Brazilian gaming twitter, so, that’s not happening here.
Oh I also don't believe it was every single retailer dumping it in the trash, but historically in the US even Gamestop has been known to do that every now and then.
Anyway, since that video doesn't seem to have been posted, here it is in case someone missed it:

Also @Gamernyc78 , use this source for the $100 million budget claim.
Square Enix may have spent over $100 million on Forspoken
Square Enix could have spent over $100 million on Forspoken's total development budget, and a sales miss could trigger 'significant downside risk'

I mean this title still stands as it costing "over" 75 million. It wasnt removed due to the $100 million assertion.
Yeah, not surprised. Though if anything its a miracle the game came out as "fast" as it did and with the cuts being so un-noticable.

Hardcore Xbox fanatic posts a photo and you proceed to treat it as the truth. Are Xbox fanatics a multicelular organism or something? It's like you have a fucking hive mind.

You know Stealbook's tend to be empty 99% of the time right?
Just thought i should point that out as the only way for them to have a disk in is if you buy the disk copy along with it and put the disk in.
For all we know is they might have had them set up as prop's in windows/shelves
Sure it is entirely possible, but that video predating Square Enix coming out and saying the games sales are lacklsuter by just one, two days is an incredible coincidence.
Do you see anything else in that dumpster besides the empty steelbook? Everything is in boxes or trash bags and then the Forspoken is sitting on top. It's fake unless the Game Stop employee went there to put it right before the Xbox mega fan went dumpster diving (instead of the store trash).
Yes it's incredible, you should go in that dumpster maybe your new hero will find you next
Oh don't worry, for any propaganda I may or may not be spreading, plenty of people are over-analyzing the trash can for traces of other things, see the post above for reference.
But I digress, the game has been received and now also sold lackluster, even the parent company has come out and said it. And they can't even blame this one on any of their former Western studios anymore.
