Wasnt the point of this thread and completly missing the issue
Loosing that many numbers is not good no matter how you spin it
are you damage controling here or something like that?
Celebrating or brag about that is not something to be proud of either tasking 3 studios churning the same game every year a clear signs of creative bankrupt
I greatly disagree in this situation there is an actual logical legitimate response that can minimize what's being talked about or nullify it or make it completely moot or irrelevant.
So to say something like losing that many numbers is not good I first need to know a few things.
1. Is this regarding a multiplayer or single player property?
2. Is there a factual expectation for that number to remain the same and not drop ever?
3. What was the player base before the year prior and did they have a drop similar to this when new entries get revealed , announced etc
I think you need to actually factor that if they lost 50 million it's because they had an extremely large number to lose that much in the first place ie easy come easy go.
So no disrespect air but it would be as stupid as fucking trying to tell me some billionaire just lost 100 million dollars and we should be worried but if the man is known to fucking make billions for all we know the concept of losing 100 million and gaining 500 million is fucking nothing to this person....
So I respectfully disagree losing that many numbers really generally depends on the context of what the fuck we're talking about and you need to get a lot of information to understand if this is a big deal or Nothing at All.
Stop getting caught up in this stupid sensationalist bullshit of trying to fucking repeat a number for attention.... so this is not a situation of no matter how you spin it this is 100% a situation based on contexts where yes....... there might actually be an explanation behind this that argues it might either be normal or it might be nothing to this property to gain or lose this much on a yearly period so I simply need enough information to gather if this is something massively detrimental or unnormal situation for them.
So I would argue to even be able to have such a ridiculous base where losing 50 million is a normal fucking thing before breaking a shitload of Records is a testament to how great that property even is what other fucking property do you know of that's the losing 50 million every other year or something only to then gain some different base back? So everybody not playing that World War II Call of Duty will simply just buy the other Modern Warfare sequel. Don't delude yourself with this idea that this is some beginning sign of some big flop or something because I need way more information to tell me this is either unheard of or the property is on its last legs to be starting any type of sensationalist Celebration for Forum banter.
I say this as somebody who doesn't even currently play this property, I simply despise this weird sensationalist narrative of trying to run with a number with no context...
