        Look again. It says Digital Sales not included for certain games that have an asterisk (*) next to them.
        [...]
        So the Chinks are hiding their sales figures for BG3. Just like they’re hiding their actual GDP numbers, population census, number of people who died of COVID, etc. since everyone knows that their numbers are abysmal.

        Why do you keep complaining about chinks having the sales figures as if they made the game or even own the IP when Hasbro or WotC would be the ones to do that if not Larian?

      There's many way you can lie about the performance of a game and developers have been doing it for decades.

      Every slimy company 20 years ago claimed they sold 1 million copies at launch, and then 8 months later they said they've only sold 200,000 copies.... how does that work? Well because there's two different types of sales, sell in and sell out. Sell in means they're selling to wholesalers, so not actual consumers. That's why they all claimed a million sales if they wanted to, that's why nobody cares if a game sells a million copies because we've been conditioned to think that's shit. Sell out copies are real people buying games by the way, and nobody includes that figure anymore.

      One common way in the digital age to inflate sales is to sell keys. Technically you're not actually selling the game, you're selling the rights to a copy of a game, but they include it anyway in their "sales". For instance if a huge game like Cyberpunk sold 1 million keys day 1 and sold 3 million copies to wholesalers and then you add on the 4-5 million preorders, then you get ridiculous launch figures like 5-6-7 million copies sold day 1 which isn't actually what happened. Especially with games that were in early access for years (BG3)

        Then since you can inflate the performance of your game to that level your PR goes through the roof and millions of people start buying your game thinking it's the best thing ever made. Add in a hundred million dollar marketing budget and you could sell actual fecal matter to people

                No, frickwit. I’m saying Larian isn’t marketing BG3 by themselves. Larian doesn’t have the money to shill this game as hard as it’s been shilled already. Tencent does.
                >Also you still have no proof that they're involved with the game's marketing campaign?
                It’s already a known fact that Tencent has a 30% stake in Larian. They want to ensure BG3 does well so they can make money, which easily explains why it’s being shilled so much.

                >But Tencent is controlled by the Dutch and everything they do benefits them if we use your logic.
                And now you’re using your moronic straw man argument a third time like it actually fricking works. Lemme educate you, moron:

                Larian is a privately owned company of around 400+ employees. Tencent on the other hand is a massive multinational conglomerate based in China. It’s clear which of these two is the bigger company. Prosus (the Dutch company) is only an investor of Tencent, and they themselves are a subsidiary of the South African company Naspers. Naspers invested in Tencent early on with a 31 percent stake in Tencent, but Tencent grew so big that it completely eclipsed Naspers and was able to establish complete control over their business operations, with Naspers just being investors in the company through Prosus.

                Your straw man argument is thus triple moronic and doesn’t disprove that Tencent wouldn’t shill the frick out of BG3.

Confidential emails back and forth from Tencent and Larian? Wire transfer records and stubs from checks sent from Tencent to gaming journalists? Because of course nobody can get that shit. But you don’t fricking need to. You can just easily figure shit out by connecting the dots, which apparently you’re incapable of since you have the critical thinking skills of a kid with Down’s syndrome.

              >implying I ever said that Larian is a Chinese company
              Holy fricking shit, you’re more moronic than I thought. I said Tencent has a 30% stake in Larian. Tencent is a Chinese company. Larian is obviously a European company but it’s Tencent who is shilling the frick out of BG3 since they have a vested interest in ensuring that the game does well so they can make money. But apparently you’re too moronic to connect the dots and needed to be spoon-fed like the moron that you are.

    Why is Final Fantasy such a joke nowadays. These games used to sell consoles.

      Because they were lauded for their story and presentation, and the west (and Kojima) left Japan in the dust with that stuff from the sixth generation onwards. The moment you no longer had as much abstraction, the whole veneer fell apart. Dub voice acting and attempts to keep up with cinematic presentation exposed Square as much weaker at their supposed forte than previously thought. FF7's story is also uniquely pretty good by normal people standards compared to everything after it. The remake, when it wasn't being unhinged Nomura shit, made that very clear.
