Is that for sure all physical and digital copies? Because this was a Gamepass game wasn't it? If they're just going off of player numbers it could be a lot less.
Definitely a lot less because you also have to factor in how often that piece of shit went on sale to try to recoup funds. Every time I've seen the game appear on a storefront, I don't think I've ever seen it for $60-$70. They didn't get even close to that supposed 2m sales to recoup their sunk $100m.
it was also free on the epic store (which epic pays for), wouldn't be surprised if they count that too.
It was "free" to redeem on PS Plus too (not really free since you have to keep PS plus sub)
Humble Bundle gave it to their subscription holders in the month of March.
Nobody suffered more than Mike Wats. He had stage four cancer and spent his dying days trying to finish his patch. Now it's just sitting on a drive somewhere and I don't think anything short of a SR fan winning the lottery and buying the rights to the franchise is going to get it out of limbo.
To put this in perspective, in 2006 best selling games were lucky to hit about 3 million in sales, with the top games of 2006, Kingdom Hearts 2 hitting only 8 Million, and first Gears of War, only hitting 5 million.
it sucks, but to be fair he died doing what he loved. there are worse ways to spend your last days.
Pretty much he said/she said since Deep Silver will obviously never step up to take responsibility, but the bigger Saints Row content creators (well, big for a series most people stopped caring about a while ago) Flippy and MrSaintsGodzilla were supposedly in contact with Volition, and I believe MrSaints got to see early story ideas and playtest an early version. According to them, the game was supposed to be "80% SR2 and 20% SR3" with the original members of the Saints and a story that revolved around Dex as a bad guy. Apparently Deep Silver stepped in and said that sort of story wouldn't sell and to make it about friendship. Here's Flippy's video discussing it.
Sorry, late and gay, but I've heard people say it ruins *the disk* and not just the saves.
They were giving it away for free on EGS for months and even then had very few takers.
IIRC it damages the disc by looking for sectors (data) that does not exist over and over because the game is telling the system that the data should be there and to keep looking.
So disks can be damaged by being read too hard/much?
I've never heard of discs getting damaged by just being read, but earlier models of the 360 had those DVD drives that'd grind a circle in the disc and destroy it if you rotated the system, sooooooooooooo maybe those drives are just really that bad?
