NVM this guy is just an idiot.

Not really. The cunt is simply lying through his teeth.
Trying to do comparisons to BG3's Steam performance is pointless for several reasons. First, BG3 had been in early access for years, and had time to garner a significant fan base even before launch -- all driven through Steam. More importantly, it launched on Windows in August, a full month before the first console launch (PS5, September) and then Xbox (December). Dragon Age Failguard is launching on console and PC at the same time, whereas for BG3, the only place to play the game was on PC for at least a month, not to mention it is likely a much more enjoyable to play on a PC given the game's mechanics. Dragon Age is clearly designed for consoles. I wouldn't be surprised if the Xbox and PS5 concurrent numbers were way higher than what's on Steam currently.

But again, none of this really matters until you've got a few days to shake things out, and we can see the user reviews.
The EA player base was minimal though. Something like 1-3% of total one. As for consoles - a good amount of people were patiently waiting for BG3 release there so not exactly unfair, again. Finally, there's nothing to wait - there's no way in hell Veilguard will receive the same user review treatment (almost 600k and 96% positive by now by the way).
5 Codexers are currently playing Troonguard. I am disappointed.
well, someone has to get the inside scoop.
Dude the game has no DRM. They're morons to give EA moneys.

Correct me if I am wrong.
Assuming 60000 people bought faggot age for 75$, let's round that up to 100000 people with consoles and exclude Steam fee. That'll be 7 500 000 $.
How this could be a financial success or somehow feasible for a studio of about 30+ "people"?
So you see, imagine a guy looking like this:

This guy checks how gay your game (movie/show/whatever) is, and how many niggers it contains. If it is really gay, and it contains tons of niggers, your company's credit line gets extended, and potentially even increased. You are being declared a good goy, and allowed to continue using the player->AddItem "Gold_001" command.

That's how western economies work now, supply and demand are obsolete concepts, and neither "profit" nor sales matter as much as people think they do.

Why are people buying this game on Steam when you can get it for 16 bucks with EA Play?

Why pay anything? I don't know what the rules are and don't want to catch a ban because you never know with these things but it's already just a google search away.

66k and counting. Those of you who predicted the Concord numbers, show yourselves.
Concord numbers is a retarded ass prediction, Bioware and Dragon Age/Mass Effect will always plenty of people jumping in it regardless of product quality.

Issue is, considering that its a game of a already know old franchise... these numbers are... kind of sad...

Release day is often when games peak, unless it spikes big time during the weekend, daddy EA might take Bioware to visit Maxis and its friends.

It was on the russian forums like 30 minutes before it was available on steam. Buying this rainbow diarrhea "jUsT tO tEsT iT oUT" is fucking braindead.

So I know I'm an outlier since even 7/10 writing will immediately make me drop an RPG, but wtf is this:

Fucking tasteless consumers that are eager to buy New Thing are what's ruining media.
