yeah, what's funny is the 100 million budget is an asspull from a sales expert, However because analysts where scratching their head how a fucking 3 million sales in 2 weeks game would possibly be considered a layoffs-tier flop, they speculate that the actual budget was beyond that.
I thought about this some, because that also confused me.
No and your need to shill and defend everything is pathetic
First game, allegedly, sold 8 million copies, but I guarantee you that the vast majority of those were sold at a deep discount, we're talking barging bin prices here, $5 per copy or less, so that means fuckall. KCD1 also had a budget of around $37 million.
And I think your need to attack every single thing Vavra says is pathetic as well. I am just the equalizer.
And Embracer wants them to double it at minimum. Because anything else and it's not worth the investment and they are an IP farm. Just expect them to lie about sales and profitability until the end like they did with the woke saints row. Which aside from being buggy as shit is actually fun in coop. Got it free on EGS. They have the saves in the install dir and when you uninstall it wipes them. It's pure poetry.
I got it for free with a bundle of other games also proving my point that only buy games from actual right wing people and not by homosexuals at least Bible adventures doesn't pretend to be anything it's not.
From how you simp for that Czech faggot, there is simply no way you aren't going to fully enjoy the gay romance arc.
It's also worth noting that marketing budget is typically left out of the "production budget" that is more readily accessible. This way they (the publishers) can obfuscate the numbers to whatever narrative they want when presenting to their investors/stakeholders.
I'm curious to see if they can manage to achieve such numbers. They're fighting an uphill battle here - the game caters to a niche audience ("realistic" medieval cRPG), has niche gameplay mechanics and clunky, unpolished/hardcore combat, is marred with controversy right before launch and is coming out in the same month as several heavy hitters.
It is not so much pandering to the public in this case, but pandering to the shitlibs in house. To the higher ups at Plaion, the activist devs, the fags and trannies they no doubt accumulated over the years. It's almost like they wanted this to be their little dirty secret, but the leaks forced them to spoil it. The whole thing just feels so unnecessary otherwise.
They've also pissed off a decent chunk of their audience, which I have a sneaking suspicion won't help their cause.
To be fair, so is poking shit with a stick.
There was sodomy in medieval times. You were just burned at the stake for it. You can also steal horses in the game, and you'd historically get the death penalty for that as far as I know.
Exactly, it does. I have the feeling with how Vavra made his initial statement that it does actually carry consequences and isn't just a quick fling that doesn't get talked about later. Otherwise it is unnecessary. Why add a gay sex "plotline" in your medieval fantasy game if there aren't consequences for it, especially because it's supposed to be as historically accurate as possible for a video game?
He surrendered that capability when he sold Warhorse. He's an employee now, not the boss.
It's the former. At least you can now attack him over your disagreement about his design decisions, instead of accusing him of being a sellout and Larry Fink's bottom bitch. I am sure you have a lot of insightful things to say about that.
He has full creative control of the project. That makes him the boss.
Sure he does....
