It’s a surprise to no one that Square is disappointed in sales numbers. As the article says near the end they are infamous for being disappointed with not meeting very unrealistic targets. I don’t own a PS5 to play it on, they haven’t been in stock locally consistently. But from everything I’ve seen about the game, it’s a middling to good game. So middling to good sales numbers should make them happy. And from what I can tell the numbers say that it’s selling better than that.
I’d be willing to bet that the game will be available in a compressed format from a repack site with no content loss. At least 30% smaller. A recent example that I just checked, Forspoken, Original Size: 103.9 GB Repack Size: from 63.6 GB
Before I had an unlimited connection for monthly bandwidth usage I would frequently download an already purchased game from the repack site and then have steam “repair” it. Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War come to mind specifically. Saved so much of my limits at the time.
Tinker Simulator. Comes with any and all DLC and complexity you could ever ask for.
Love what I’ve played so far. Struggling on the increased difficulties, still struggling to get my first Orange win.
