Destiny is another good example. That game has no business being played for more than 30 or so hours in order to experience all the content and max out your character, but people play for hundreds of hours because of the social factor. Sea of Thieves can potentially be the same kind of game.

They’re giving it away in Game Pass, so sales are pretty much irrelevant now and will be worthless to track. They’re going to rely on expansions and DLC to make the game profitable. In two years SoT could still be going strong, or it could get Project Spark’d/MAG’d. But two years from now we know the new God of War will be history, barring some type of Breath of the Wild tier masterpiece.

Destiny has character progression though.... and like loot/item drops, and ways to better your character... plus theres story there, so you ll feel your moveing towards something, even if thats just endgame and tougher boss fights ect.

Sea of theives has no character progression or story mode, nothing to work towards, except a few cosmetic changes.
Its a empty sandbox world, where you team up with your friends to do small missions over and over again.

You cant really compair the two.
Destiny I can see a reason that can be played for 100's of hours.
I cant with Sea of theives, I dont think most that buy it will end up spending 100+ hours on it.

Should have kept bolding my post, I know there are progression and story. That’s why I said “max out your character” and “experience all the content”. But neither of those take any time at all, and after that you’re left with replaying the same content again and again and again and again IF you want to maybe find a weapon or equipment you haven’t gotten yet. 

Sea of Thieves has progression, both with your character rank (you need to hit Pirate Legend to access the end game apparently) as well as ranks and progression through the different trading companies, leveling up to get tougher quests with better rewards. You don’t seem to know much about SoT, which is fine, but do read up on it if you want to talk about it :)

i doubt most people who get SoT will play for 100+ hours, too. I doubt most Destiny players play for 100+ hours.
