Sales are front loaded. They aren't a testament of how good a game is. Games can sell well just on hype. It got alot of bad reviews because it's boring and basically the same from the beta. I doubt that Rare will update this game to the point that Hello Games did with NMS but we will see.

The games been out a week how on earth can u argue that the game is frontloaded? Your actually stating that as a fact lol. And yes the game does need more content. And they have said it’s going to get massive amounts of support. Also why are we talking about NMS. This thread is about SOT and it’s great launch.

The majority of game sales are near a game's launch which makes them front loaded. It's why games need discounted sales, rereleases to different consoles, GOTY editions. Otherwise sales die off quickly. It's also why some devs do review embargoes.

NMS was in a similar situation. It was released fairly bare bones and it had some game mechanics that weren't that well thought-out. The dev patched and greatly improved the game over time. SoT is in a similar situation.
