It would have sold around 800K-1M by now if it wasn't free. That's good, but not nearly as amazing as some of you guys are claiming this to be.

You didn't answer my question. Do you think this success comes just from being free, or do you think it has something to do with the quality of the game?

It's a completely new game that released on PS+ (that doesn't happen often, I hear people complain about the PS+ game selection all the time), it's an addicting online multiplayer game (so you already need a PS+ subscription to play the game anyway) and it had a good word of mouth (you don't need much to convince people when you say it's free).

Using the 5 million downloads as an argument as to why it's a great game is silly. Plenty of great games out there that bombed anyway. But hey, if you want to use "sales" as an indication of quality be my guest...

You still didn't answer my question. Just give me a straight up answer, yes or no.

Did the quality of this game influence these numbers for the better?

I never said it was a bad game. I'm arguing against the people who claim the game is great and a big success because it was downloaded 5 million times.

If you want to convince me the game is great do so by talking about the actual game, not its sales.
