        Success != like or interest.
        While it's a difficult concept for low iq tribalistic wetbrains to comprehend, it's possible to dislike a thing or not be interested in it, and still admit its objective success and vice-versa.

      Imagine caring about a corporations success. Besides that popularity isn't a measure of quality. The transformers movies made a shitload. Justin Bieber albums sold a shitload.

      Why should I care whether or not a game is successful? Why would that matter more than my enjoyment of the game?

              Where did I pretend anything about my taste, anon? The question was, as long as I enjoy it, why should I care whether or not others enjoy it as well (as if popularity is a sign of quality lmao)

              You could make an argument about a possible sequel or server upkeep or a certain amount of players needed for multiplayer or whatever, but for some reason you didn't. Why is that?

      I expect every shitposter to only play Fortnite, COD and whichever of Madden or FIFA makes more sense given their geographical location. Also, the only food they eat is McDonalds.

      If the way they live is anything different from this, then they're massive hypocrites.

      Every single one of those threads had me thinking that bait has gotten lousy when all you have to say is "do you think it's still 2010?"

    because fanboys get butthurt when they're low and I'm glad Rebirth is selling like shit after the utter steaming pile of dogshit that was Remake
    and I'm not just talking about Japan because it's been over a week and they haven't revealed global sales which means it definitely flopped because if it didn't they wouldn't shut the frick up it

    Just a reminder that the digital version of Rebirth had a pack that included Remake for free. That's most likely why its doing less physical numbers, especially preorders.
