Because they used GP to knee cap retail sales.  You know the GP model that you swore up and down would increase sales 

Wow.. Game Pass sure is influential huh?  

 

lmao at suggesting that SquareEnix played their cards JUUUUUUUUUUUST right... to purposefully make their game sell less and fail... just to make a small chunk of GP money on the side so they didn't have to pay royalties to their developers by a certain date.....

 

 

Yep, that's what happened

Negatively influential on sales 

 

The developer is the one who mentioned the publisher and game pass as factors in the article

Yea, they mention the publisher.. because the publisher is in control of distribution.

 

IE... the publisher isn't being upfront with them... which is what the article is about... because they have literally no information.. only estimates

They mentioned GP too and no matter how much you try to spin away from it, it's not going away

Yes the article says what the developer suggested with GP and last I checked we were discussing the article 

 

 

I agree it's run its cource.

Yeah, it kind of sounds like Square might be pulling a Disney here and fucking them over.

 

Yeah that's exactly how I read it. It's the only way PCF wouldn't be getting any royalties.

Yeah they also said Square could have spent more money also, point is they have no clue whatsoever. Like I said this game is on 6 platforms, SIX, so to infer in some way that this is the result of GamePass is retard fodder.

 

Square is clearly doing some sketchy shit with the money or else they would outright tell PCF exactly how much it has sold which would in turn allow them to break down margins, but they're not.
