I wonder if Starfield have cleared 5M copies by now?
Would be funny if even TOW will manage to mog Todd.

Would be hilarious even though TOW was a big letdown. I expect Starfield will still do well enough to break even though. I'd love to be proven wrong

I think 5 mil is such a low bar, that Starfield cleared it their first week, but I can't imagine they sold much more than that.

Weirdest cracker you know.

I think Todd is more than a meme, and he at least sold 5 million on gravitas.

After recent Todd releases you will never convince me that some unknown dev wasn't responsible for daggerfall/morrowind/oblivion. Todd just slimeballed his way into the spotlight at this persons expense.

He clearly doesn't play his own games

"It just works"

No it clearly ******* doesn't

Todd, Kuhlmann, and Kirkbride resurrected the company. Is Todd a slimeball? Yeah, but he's my slimeball.

I thought it was common knowledge that Ken Rolston was largely responsible for Morrowind.

When you look at steamdb at the multiplayer list, almost every single one is an old game. And the top game, CS2, is basically a 20+ year old game. The best stay at the top. It must irk modern developers to the core that they can't even compete with old behemoths.

No surprises, even popamole was better in the day. Modern companies rarely do anything good because most management is complete cancer.

There was also Mark Nelson, who started off doing random 3d **** but became one of the core members by the time they started work on Tribunal. And also there was Douglas Goodall, who wrote a lot of the faction quests in the game. Funnily enough, he quit on the spot when Rolston started firing off ideas for Tribunal because he thought they were that ********.

Starfield Has Now Had Over 12 Million Players, Phil Spencer Says

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has announced that Starfield has now seen over 12 million players.

Speaking during the CCXP event in Brazil, Spencer described Bethesda’s space RPG as “a tremendous hit”, although failed to announce sales figures or the split of players between Game Pass subscribers and owners of the game itself.

“Starfield has now had over 12 million players since the launch of Starfield, and it still sits in our top 10 most-played games from our studios,” Spencer said. “So thank you everybody for all the support on Starfield, and making it a tremendous hit.”
pathetic numbers, considering the fact that the game is on Gamepass. BG3 sold like 25M copies on Steam alone.

Perhaps having the Nexus Mods site owner have his BPD, LGBTQ+ activist side ho as well as a bunch of other thin skinned modders known for their huge egos and degeneracy be consultants for your AAA game wasn't a good idea. Who could have seen this coming?

The irony here is most of those players aren't Americans
