Forums - Sales - stop using LTD in predictions

I keep seeing people say stuff like I predict that 'so and so game will sell X copies ltd'. I know it's a minor thing but it always erks me. ltd correct me if I am wrong means 'Life Time to Date' as in how many copies something has sold up to this point, when predicting life time sales it doesn't makes sense to say 'I predict it will sell x life time to date' especially when the game is months away from release.

thank you

well i think its stupid because life time means a life time so unless you live a lifetime i wouldn't know if you are right or wrong in your silly prediction.

WIN!



But war... war never changes

"Life to death" doesn't make sense, the use of the word "life" makes "death" redundant, and life is not a point in time, if anything it would have to be "[from] launch till death".



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

EPIC WIN!!!
