If you only release 1 game over the decades, then you can set all kinds of records! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ

That's true. But that isn't what Nintendo has done, is it? I've bought lots of games made by Nintendo. Literally all the (physical) games I have are by Nintendo. ๐Ÿค”

Yeah totally true. People always buy 10 year old games that suck in droves. Oh wait

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Obviously it has to be good from the start, but yes. See GTA and Skyrim as examples where they support and market an old title.

The original commenter was implying the game wasn't that good, they just didn't release others. My point was exactly that it had to be good for people to still be buying/playing it.

The sarcasm here tells us you're not that familiar with the games industry

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

So you're claiming that old games that suck are popular or....?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think I misread what you said because MK8 doesn't suck. But still arguably yes, case in point being Skyrim IMO. Or like, Fallout 4

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

My point was that if a game sells for a decade it's obviously pretty good

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Yeah, just ask Bethesda about Skyrim!
