Basically, I'm with CGI on this one. It's ok to disagree with someone about something, slime, but to ask him why he's here? That's very rude, and I don't blame him for getting a little nasty. These forums aren't all about discussing sales, it's for intelligent gamers. So he has a right to speak his opinion.
With that being said, about sales being important, I do see where you're coming from, as good sales = sequel usually. But the problem is, companies are all about milk milk milk now, and seeing some mediocre games get amazing sales, people are getting elitist, and want games they deem great to sell that much, since they think sales=great game. It's nice to have sequels, but they need improvement every time, and most companies don't do that.
CGI didn't say sales are unimportant completely. He shared my thoughts, which is that as long as the game brings in profits (doesn't need to be a megahit), then everything is good. That's it. |
Of course u can interpret it like Im questioning his existance on this site lol, but it wasnt meant to be read like that.
This topic goes long back in time. He keeps questioning people's motives for being fascinated by game sales, he does it all the time. It's only valid to question him back and ask why he keeps bringing up this objection on the only site that's focused on sales out of literally several hundreds of gaming sites out there.
Like myself, I got a language barrier so I'd be on a Swedish site if i just wanted to discuss games without the sales aspect. But Im here because there are other people here who are fascinated by the sales of video games and consoles.
Read again and u'll find out that it wasnt rude.
Also, remember the topic name of this very thread...
