“Copies sold” is a much better measure

Definitely. I was being sarcastic, not trying to defend the wording.

Well they cant say 40M owners because that would be a lie as well.

Thats right, but games like Baldurs Gate or KCD2 still take a lot of time. Its not like shifting the priority to making a better game makes it take much less time to develop. If you abandon graphics altogether maybe, thats where indie comes into play. But AAA need to appeal to much bigger groups of people.

You have that option. Theres literally thousands of such games, unlike 20 years ago. But this opinion doesnt seem to be the norm, otherwise AAA wouldnt still be a thing.

Yeah thats the part I understood, but on what conditions? If they earn 69m$ for 6 months in a row, the bonus is 0$ but if they earn 70m$ one month and 0$ for 5 more months the bonus is 210m$? That kind of doesnt make any sense.

…pay out that bonus, which equates to $3.12 for every $1 every month that Unknown Worlds surpasses $69.8 million in revenue

Im a little lost here. Can someone explain this sentence please?

The Binding Of Isaac, around 1700 or something

Unfortunately many gaming communities are very toxic and it is easy to get sucked into that vibe so its a downward spiral.

I know theres a difference. I didnt say roguelike is the correct term for roguelites, but it has been and is used synonymously by many if not most people. Just like people call every electronic music with a rhythmic bassline techno even if it is progressive funk house.

No more like millions of players didnt play Rogue and didnt see the necessity to create a new word for a (at the time) super niche genre

Combos are one specific element in a game, roguelite is the basic concept the game is built on. Also since when are genres very specific? Rocket League and Mario Tennis are both Sports games.

Roguelike was the term generally used for all roguelites before they became so popular someone invented a separate word for it.

I wasnt trying to smartass, the setting you described sounds genuinely stressful to me. Maybe Im misinterpreting your post but it just sounds like you are looking for a specific kind of revenge fantasy game and I think its too niche for most people to find interest in it. The only games that come to mind are Untitled Goose Game and Bully. Havent played either so not sure if its what youre looking for.

being a very disgruntled worker in a very annoyingly noisy environment with shitty customers.

That sounds like pure stress to me instead of stress relief. Dont know about other people but I wouldnt want to spend my free time simulating a shitty job.

give up the ghost

Elons new even more Nazi AI

Probably a note to themself made into a post

Thats the neat part, just dont.

While I am against using illnesses as slurs, I am 99% sure Elon Musk has NPD even if was never officially diagnosed, which he would avoid for obvious reasons. So I wouldnt count this instance as using an illness as a slur.
