‘You’re all making fun of it and yet you buy it’
No, those are two different groups. Gamers ™ are not a monolithic block. Some like it, some hate it, some in between. To lump that all together is moronic.
Yes, and the most outspoken Gamers™ represent a minority. There’s a reason studios don’t pander to them.
Nesmith said he no longer remembers the exact sales figures for the add-on, but he remembers it being a lot. “It must have been in the millions, it had to be millions,” he said.
So… No accounting for how many of these sales came from bundles/GOTY editions, and we are just going off his memory of the sales numbers?
Great reporting, this really vindicated Horse Armor’s legacy…
Yeah I had the GOTY edition with shivering isles etc, but if it came with the horse armor I have no memory of it. I certainly didn’t buy it with horse armor in mind. I’d like to know if that was included in the figures.
We know pretty damn well that people buy cosmetics though, especially in the current gaming landscape. So he’s right, and we all lost something important here
Did you expect him to put in a request for that information with their archive accounting department for transactions from 18 years ago? Come on, man!
It was included with the game of the year edition, I wonder if that factors into the sales
Sssoooooo… they can’t fathom that the millions that bought it aren’t the same people as the tens of millions that made fun of it?
How do these people run companies?
Truly a watershed moment for the enshittification of microtransactions
