Farming Simulator 25 has sold more preorder copies than failguard — #150 vs #161 top-sellers. Farming Sim '25 comes out about 2 weeks after failguard.

Veilguard has a lot* of wishlists actually, but it's barely selling any preorders.

* — not compared to how much it should have in non-clownworldia, just compared to normie titles.

The most depressing thing from that list is learning that a Borderlands 4 is in production.

I am so happy that journalists are now viewed as the scum they are by the normalfags. You're not a hero of the people fighting to shine the light and discover the truth, you're a puppet with a corporate/governmental hand so far up your *** that you can taste the dirt under the fingernails on that hand. And the most pathetic thing about you is the fact that you're willing to sell your dignity and reputation of the privilege of being such a puppet.
This incestuous industry flailing and falling apart is one of the actually good things that have been happening in the last decade.

Those are Follower numbers, not Wishlist. Wishlist numbers are probably 10 times higher, of course still low relative to other games and considering budget.

Knowing EA they have sale projections of thinking it will sell 6 to 10 million units.

Not anymore. They also have all the data, all the recent flops. Even their execs aren't that dumb to expect anything less but a mega flop. They are probably already working on what to do with them post-release, shut-down/down size etc.

Bioware is probably kept alive entirely by the excessive Canadian state subsidies, I can't imagine why they'd still exist otherwise.

Excited for release.

I'd work at walmart ngl. Seeing as I have no skills I might as well, kek. But they'll probably get promoted and then boss me around, so I'll end up shanking a ***** or two.

l can’t imagine how much of a soul sucking job working at Walmart is( I used to worked at there biggest competitor and felt like taking a loaded 12 gauge to the face Kurt Cobain style.

I think I can answer some of this as I used to work at a Walmart. Used to work deli and tending to cleaning the kitchen and bakery. It really depends on where you live. My boss and co-workers were good people and we would have a blast joking around. The guys used to enjoy putting fake spiders in the sink for the women to find and get freaked out over. My boss was kind enough to let me and my co-workers listen to music after the kitchen was closed so the last part of the day would go by quick. It wasn't too bad as far as work could be. And no, we never did the Walmart dance. My boss hated it and refused to have us go through that humiliation ritual. I will say that the people who would come into the store were interesting. Such as the homeless man high on meth who was trying to fight with everyone in the store or the black prostitutes who would come to the deli and get the hot chicken sliders in the wee hours of the morning.

I'm sure walmart's ok, you get to sleep in your own bed every night. Its more dignified than being a gamedev. The point is I want the full realization how worthless the gamedev was to crush them.

I used to work at a Netto and a Organic supermarket and they were largely nice to me even if I was a bit slower. No humiliation ritual, the customers were nice, one or two co-workers sucked but they were mostly those that came to work when I was done so I didn't have to be subjected to their presence.

It was not fun to put it mildly. Made the chair with a make shift belt quite appealing when looking at the ceiling fan.

AAA games are evolving backwards, the recent one at the leftf literally looks like a live-action actor wearing makeup and horn props to appear on an old Star Trek episode. lmfao
