It regularly has 10-20k concurrent players on steam despite being 8 years old. Almost 50,000 after the most recent update.
People are clearly not as underwhelmed as you think. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean your opinion is the dominant one.
I completely agree that the game is a lot of breath and not a whole lot of depth in many respects, but that really doesn’t change anything. It clearly pleased a lot of people. Go see the reviews if you doubt me.
Nobody said it was “fundamentally different.” It’s just been iterated on heavily and original promises have been delivered and more. It’s not the same game at launch at all.
When was the last time you actually played it?
I’d stay in a kruschevski tbh but I’m also weird and find them fascinating
I’m talking about this genre post in general
Oh I see how that reads now. That was not a dig at you. I was just saying I hate those types of posts. Seeing as we are on shit post I just kind of assumed you were throwing it out there in all of it obnoxious glory
Planting means to root firmly
Have you never heard “plant your feet”?
I hate magic internet point farming like this. It’s so obnoxious.
Yes but the modest improvement in output over the 360 was clearly not worth it
Yes it is hard, and that was their damn fault. I can’t believe they expected developers to have to program which processors take which loads with such granularity. Unbelievably stupid.
Not liking it is not the same as not delivering. The game is exactly what they set out to make from the get-go.
That being said at launch they absolutely did not deliver and deserved to be shamed. Though certainly not harassed like they were, unfortunately
I know it’s mentioned every time they come up, but man, what an unbelievable 180 NMS pulled off since launch
Only if it’s an official act!
Ruined it for everyone
I’m sure people will be seeding it in no time
Pixelated AF but we got it dammit!
I can’t believe it, I found it. 
Dammit I’ve got another “high brow” meta analysis of this meme/using this meme buried somewhere…
Based on? Because even in 2022 they were selling well. TL;DR: They cleared ~$50mill in revenue on a game with no DLC. So I’d be very curious where you’re getting your information from, as that clearly shows they are still selling units.
I never said it was for everyone or anything about expectations.
