Nah I don't think so.Which was like a decade ago. I think it's time to let such a petty thing go.

The journalist sites with pro-EGS agendas are significantly worse lolThis. It's tiresome seeing reports like these from sites/journalists with anti-EGS agenda.
OP's post history is a lot of hate for EGS and downplaying the success of Borderlands 3 so the fact they're posting this "news story" from *checks notes* tweak town dot com isn't surprising.
yeah dude it's all a big conspiracy
Get yourselves ready for a bunch of 10:01 youtube videos about this in your video suggestions that you'll never watch.
YouTube algorithm and monetization favors longer videos. Generally atleast 10 minutes.
What? 5 million opening not being impressive? Yeah, for how big the franchise grew that's really not impressive.
But what if it turns out that dip is unrelated to release of the game? Just don't publish the article about the topic you know nothing about? ahahahahI'm no journalist but I think it would be basic journalism when doing news about stock is to check a) if the special dip/rise of that day is particular to that company or part of the overall market and b) if that dip/rise can also be seen in other companies of the same industry.
This. Hell look at the switch lite. Fastest selling handheld ever and completely out of line with analysts to the point its blatant stock manipulation knowing they predicted it so high it would've had to out do the original switch craze itself.This says more about out-of-control expectations than it says about sales (which are strong).
"Borderlands 2 still holds the best sales record with 10 million copies sold to date."
It must be more than double this, right? I'm sure they released total sales for the franchise a few weeks ago and it was something crazy like 40 million total.
Its fair to say my hate for EGS is there in out in the open, completely justified for the consequences epic's practices are gonna have on PC gaming if it succeeds somehow and how inferior the platform is as compared to its counter parts and i don't even try to hide that in my comments so pointing it out and turning your guns against me won't do you much good here.
I have only commented regarding EGS in the BL3 sales thread previously and that was about how it was falsely stated by ZHugex how it was plainly the highest selling 2K title when it was explicitly stated in the press release that it was only for the first 5 day period. Other than this i haven't tried to state anything else on BL3's sales so far and btw tweaktown is a known PC Enthusiast site that has PC specific news and graphic card reviews and news and has been doing this stuff for several years. Its much more reputable than you actually think i can assure you this much lol so while this might not be something of a significant *news* for you that doesn't mean that you should immediately question the source despite it being reputable enough, at least do some research about it.
yeah i don't even have to look it up to tell that's way off. 10 mil is a pittance for an evergreen title released 7 years ago
If a news source doesn't want it's reputation besmirched it shouldn't print shit articles like this one.
Yes, news sites should just spew the shit that comes from the Press releases from publishers and developers. Clearly because they won't lie.
Oh nice! It's time for gamers with zero financial education to use this as an example of how the stock market doesn't make sense and analysts are all idiots.
Valve is not associated with SteamSpy.Also, it seems that Valve is also part of the conspiracy/ lie, as Steamspy shows more than 10M copies for Borderlands 2 on Steam alone. I guess that is more plausible than the writer not doing proper research? :p
Ah yes, all the lying they can do to their investors. Your intelligence figured it all outYes, news sites should just spew the shit that comes from the Press releases from publishers and developers. Clearly because they won't lie.
ah yes my favorite valve site steamspyIf everyone (at least those that don't fit your agenda) lies anyways, what is the point of even having discussions? "I don't believe you unless you say the guys I hate are doing poorly, and the ones I like are doing well" is a very weird stance, don't think?

What are you even talking about lolSo publishers can just lie to the us and throw whatever number of sold copies they want? No consequences? Ok.

SteamSpy is run by Epic employee Sergey Galyonkin (and has been more or less useless since Valve changed privacy defaults sometime... last year I think).
Can't unsee this and now I wish I was dead. Thank you.
My roommate loves this dipshit.
Some posters here are describing sales numbers from Gearbox as "bullshit". How and why would publisher ever lie about sales when sooner or later people will find out the truth?
ah apologies, missed the sarcasm there, thought you were seriously believe that publishers make up shit on official PR announcements with no fear of the SEC.Some posters here are describing sales numbers from Gearbox as "bullshit".
