Very well said.False. They do quarterly reports where they say how well their products did. Someone else mentioned this below.
So Andromeda wasn't as good as ME2. So fucking what?
Return of the Jedi had a lower critical reception than Empire Strikes Back. It also had a lower box office performance. Does this mean Return of the Jedi is a shitty movie? fuck no, it just means Empire Strikes Back was the magnum opus of the original SW trilogy, and its hard to top that up. Just because it had a lower box office performance doesn't mean in any way whatsoever that the movie flopped, or it was a failure, or it was garbage. It was a good movie, that couldn't quite match its predecessor. Same deal with Andromeda. Despite having a weaker launch than ME2, its still the number 1 game sold in the UK at the moment (The only metric available)
And we will know eventually if the same holds true for Andromeda.
Physical copies are barely valid as a metric these days, because in a day and age where physical copies are just empty boxes with a code on it, FAR more people purchase digitally to pre-load the game. Its the way of the future man.
Bad syntax is bad.
"Critics" shit on it implies EVERYONE is doing it. That's not the case. Opinions on Andromeda have been divided, with some critics bashing the game (several of them unfairly so) and just as many praising it, and giving it lavish praise (While also pointing out the glaring flaws in the game).
