Ouch. It would have made it if it released on ps4, xbone, PS5 and xbox series x as they originally planned. Releasing on just steam and xbox sex with its tiny install base, and gamepass day 1, is guaranteed "flop". It will sell 3-4 million in the first year. It may have sold a lot of xbox consoles and gamepass subscriptions, but we'll never get those figures even if microsoft can track it somehow. Tbh, I suspect microsoft cares more about console sales and gamepass subscriptions than they do about game sales. In the short term selling 10 million copies might generate more revenue, but selling half a million consoles and a million gamepass subscriptions would earn them more money in the long term.
The game reach 10M players so it made around $600M already which is on par with their forecasts here the only difference being that the game got delayed so instead of earning $600 in 21 they earned it in 23
How's that going? BG3's getting over double the daily concurrents on Steam, and it came out almost 2 months ago.
Completely forgot about this game. It just got drowned out - Baldur's Gate 3, Lies of P, Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways, Cyberpunk 2.0. Does anyone still play?
How can a game sell so much and yet be so culturally irrelevant? The only time anyone talks about the game is to criticize it and nobody ever talks about the things you actually do in the game or its story or anything else.
>nobody ever talks about the things you actually do in the game or its story
because nothing in the gameplay is new or even interesting, and the story is just an asspull to get you to do NG+ 12 times

The Lies of P shilling is even more obvious than Starfield. Lies we saw the hype die entirely within 2 days of the demo drop so it's clear how manufactured it's all been since launch.
That was $600M in the first year, before the buyout, which was perfectly reasonable. MS knew they were going to take a hit not releasing on PS and got almost 2M $100 premium editions alone by best estimation.
I wonder if the execs at the top realized that they're making liquid shit
Holy FRICK, how in the FRICKING Black person troony SHIT IS EVERY SINGLE GAME SO FRICKING ABYSMALLY HORRENDOUS?
HOLY FRICK DUDE THEY'RE SO FRICKING SHIT, IT'S RIDICULOUS
I have no chips in this game. I don't really care if Starfield had flopped or not. I am of the camp that the game seems heartless, and I don't respect the current video game medium. But with the amount of things making a billion now, I'm suspicious that something is being faked, or just that most media has become so limited, that there are going to be 2 or 3 things in their respective mediums each year that make a billion now, and this is unimpressive.
Something like Titanic making a billion when it did is different from something making a billion now. Inflation is one of the reasons.
At this point, 2 billion would be closer to the old billion milestone.
Yes, they are all idiots over at Microsoft. Children growing out of games who have nothing better to do but doompost and review bombing surely have more accurate predictions.
It's a solid game and it's clearly the framework for long-term developer support in a multi-year, consumer-focused rollout of premium DLC and timed exclusive opportunities.
>reality is they won't make their money back for the development costs
Bethesda already "made their money back for the development costs" before the game even released, because Microsoft/Xbox bankrolled everything.
Yes, they expected to make 600M in 2021 when the game was supposed to come out.
Two years of delay, much lower sales than expected, and middling reception will probably not make it earn that much.
I guess M$ can take care of the bills, but I do wonder how shareholders feel about gaming becoming bigger and bigger, but Xbox keeps on losing more money every year.
>getting so pissy over a game that you wish death on people
Oh boy, I guess fanboys turning into cultists was bound to happen some day. No telling which cult this anon hails from though
>people think the title means it made 1B already
Man. Is the rate of illiteracy rising or what?
It isn't even "is expected to" which would still not mean it made 1B but at least infers that it's close
I hope this will teach them not to make another janky poorly optimized Skyrim in space full of useless planets, barely any real choice, enemy variety where the only challenging part is holding yourself back from refunding it.
For the anons that pirated this game, is it worth it? So far I still see zero reason to pirate this. I haven't seen a single good webm or screenshot to justify it. No I don't care about dogshit ugly 0/10 looking npcs bugging out in typical bethesda shit fashion
It's a polarizing game, I put in 120 hours after pirating it and loving it. You might either love it or hate it so pirating it is definitely the smart idea.
As someone who never really cared for Bethesda games, it's really strange to me that mist people went from loving them, to despising them, npw im not implying that somehow 90% of the hate was caused by bitter Snoys mad that Starfield is an exlcusive, since Playstation has always been known for being the worst platform to play Bethesda games on, so what caused it exactly since Todd has been known as a bullshitter since forever?
What people loved about Bethesda games was the big open-world that you could just walk around and occasionally shoot people in. Eventually you learn the landmarks and gain mastery over everything. That's completely missing in Starfield. It's just small hubs with nothing interesting.
DO NOT REDEEM THIS IMAGE SIRS
DO NOT REDEEM IT
Good luck spending it. All the merchants only have 5,000.
heh
$1 billion rupees*

They are actually referring to the leaked documents. Starfield was expected to earn $900 million over 4 years since the original 2021 launch.

MS pays itself 1 billion for game it made
Cope, snoy.

Why are twitter screencap cancers so moronic and literally eat up shit from twitter?
>they thought redfall would sell 2 million copies in its first year
lmao

Meaning they thought they would but didn't. Nice try.
Thanks Looneytroon!
kys, shill
Microsoft expected a lot from Bethesda. They wont break even on the purchase any time soon, if ever.
They only need to break your mind.
Naaah, People thought that Starfield was going to be a game of the decade but Phil said that Starfield wasn't good enough to beat the PS5, lol
How can a game sell so much and yet be so culturally irrelevant? The only time anyone talks about the game is to criticize it and nobody ever talks about the things you actually do in the game or its story or anything else.
Starfield is the Avatar of gaming.
Because it's advertiser hype and millions of bots.
>nobody ever talks about the things you actually do in the game or its story

Expected, not obtained.
Completely forgot about this game. It just got drowned out - Baldur's Gate 3, Lies of P, Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways, Cyberpunk 2.0. Does anyone still play?
Of course not, that's why they're shilling it here non stop
I just beat the main quest. Have no desire to play more. Everything is just so fricking bland.
How is lies of piss drowning anything out?
>First solid non-Fromslop Souls game
>Not being a popular topic for almost a week now
Tell me you're seething without telling me you're seething.
>First solid non-Fromslop Souls game
the surge was just fine

Filtered.
>Resident Evil 4
Sure you are.
>all fotm garbage that is already on its way out the door
Even snoys are still coping about it.
To this day. Review bombing steam reviews. Taking part time jobs as journos to post negative reviews.
Checking othe people's achievement lists.
It's pathetic
That was $600M in the first year, before the buyout, which was perfectly reasonable. MS knew they were going to take a hit not releasing on PS and got almost 2M $100 premium editions alone by best estimation.
a lot more than that dude, lol, these cancerous pay to play early editions are getting them 5+ million minimum
It wasn't actually "$30 more to play five days early", it's also a bundle with the upcoming DLC included.

Is this why I am constantly getting spammed by advertiser pages about starfield on israelitebook and insta
>expected
I'm moronic and gay
Sort yourself out.
Clean your room.
It only cost them $7.5 billion
at this point Todd could shit on anon's mouth and charge him 60 dollars for the privilege
He won.....
Or for my BG3 friends
他赢了

If we just imagine ourselves making sales, we do!

>le game of the generation is forgotten after 48 hours.
Frick do you mean ? Snoys are still coping about it every day. It's great hahahah
Keep crying
Xshitters bet the game would be goty, holy morons, losing as always

Bethesda already "made their money back for the development costs" before the game even released, because Microsoft/Xbox bankrolled everything.
That's not how it works moron.
Why do you think Arkane gave zero fricks about how Redfall ended up? Because they had already gotten their shit covered from Microsoft/Xbox.
all recouped on game pass
>expected
>almost
no no no this cant be happening ive been shitting on this game for weeks
no
no
i dont believe a single one of you homosexuals even played the game. Post your hours NOW and if they're below 2 hours your opinion is IRREVELANT!
Of course I didn't play it. I don't need to take a bite out of every shit sandwich i see.
I like it. It's a solid 7.5/10 game so far. But my IQ is also high enough to always have been fully aware that it was just gonna be Fallout in space.
People who thought that it was gonna be anything else are just a bunch of double digit IQ morons who set their expectations too high.
>expected

I guess M$ can take care of the bills, but I do wonder how shareholders feel about gaming becoming bigger and bigger, but Xbox keeps on losing more money every year.
I pray for total death of everyone who bought this game.
I mean, eventually, your wish will absolutely come true. Hope that's comforting enough.

Oh boy, I guess fanboys turning into cultists was bound to happen some day. No telling which cult this anon hails from though

“Expected”
Over how long and what are the actual sales right now?
>Copy paste buildings to different planets
>1BLN dollars
>Big money Big prizes
Most developers expect to make a billion dollars on one game. That's the ideal. Most don't get that.
Show me your copy.
Now.
I pirated it and still want a refund
I hope this will teach them not to make another janky poorly optimized Skyrim in space full of useless planets, barely any real choice, enemy variety where the only challenging part is holding yourself back from refunding it.
oh and I forgot about the fact that the game is nothing but loading screens.
honestly youd have to be moronic to think nu microsoft could bankroll a half decent game
when was the last time they spat out a good game?
2007, Halo 3.
bingo
