People wanted NMS, they wanted NMS to be good.
It was a let down when it wasn’t.
No one wanted this. No one thought it would be good.
It was a laugh when it failed.
They aren’t the same.
Comment on An important update on Concord
billiam0202@lemmy.world 3 months agoThere’s just too much bad rep.
On the one hand, that’s not a bet I’d take since No Man’s Sky exists.
On the other hand, NMS is definitely the exception, not the rule.

I assume, NMS made money from their launch, despite it being so underwhelming, and that’s what they used to patch up the game.
Concord seems to have made essentially no money…

25K units sold TOTAL. 10 on steam, 15 on psn.
Some quick math, steam takes a 30% cut (10k * 40 * .7 = 280k), and since this is a sony published game sony got to keep 100% on their platform (15k * 40 = 600k). Sony made less than 1 mill in revenue on this game which allegedly cost 100M to develop.
