So, the fact that it took all year on all 4 major platforms to outsell one game from a much smaller but recognized IP thats restricted to one platform doesnt sound like a meaningful effect on its sales to you?

Because thats a very weird thing. It should not have taken so long to reach this point, given the size of hp as a franchise.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's the cheerful way to look at it. It sure could've, hypothetically, sold two gazillions instead of one. Take that, game, the boycott must've worked! Yeah...

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What exactly do you think detriment to sales means dude

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I guess a single person boycotting it would be a detriment but when you're selling a boatload and making a hefty profit you aren't all that bothered by that one lost sale.

Do you know what a hyperbole is

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Jesus, that wasnt even the part I was calling you delusional for

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

...... Youre joking right? Are you so clueless that you cant even follow the conversation youre 50% of?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Friend, the issue is that I have no idea what you thought was delusional. It was a simple question.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You have to be joking, how do you not know what we have been talking about

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Is it really that difficult just tell me what was the thing you meant? I'm not sure if you're being childish or what but obviously I don't think I've said anything delusional, so I'd like you to explain what you thought was delusional. I'm sorry but it's not much of an ask.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do you want me to copy and paste your comments? Lile what the fuck do you mean, did you forget this whole thread? Baby do too much meth this morning? What the fuck are you talking about

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Do you want me to copy and paste your comments?

Sure, that's one way to explain what you thought was delusional. There's really no need to be this difficult and childish about it. I'm literally just asking you to explain or elaborate on what you mean.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Then you can scroll the thread or your own account just fine. If you cannot grok that your point is delusional, there is nothing I can say to help you

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm asking what part of it you thought was delusional in your opinion. Jeez.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How dumb are you dude, you only had a single point

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We've had a pretty long convo with many different things said. Are you afraid it's some sort of "gotcha" and that's why you can't just say it?

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do you not know your own point? That tracks, honestly

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure you know it because you think it's delusional. That's one reason I'm asking. Honestly if you're afraid to answer, just tell me and I promise to drop it. I don't mind. But if you're unsure and that's why you're not answering then please tell me, I can try to explain it. I just need your help to continue the actual conversation.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

...... Hey, no joke. Are you high right now? You only made one point. Its the topic of the entire post. This isnt hard.

Did you forget what the post was about? Click up.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You're throwing a huge fit over saying or just copy pasting what you thought was delusional. I really don't get it.

Did you think it was delusional to say this didn't have a big/meaningful effect? Did you think it was delusional to say it made a hefty profit? I'm really trying to help you out here.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Chopping up the delusion doesnt make you sound less delusional.

Tbh youre starting to sound worse

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I don't even know what you thought the delusion was and now you're saying I chopped it up. If I chopped it up what was the whole thing??

Tbh youre starting to sound worse

You are sounding the same

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Its literally the post, stop eating glue and read the title my guy

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hogwarts Legacy has officially cleared Zelda as 2023's best-selling game worldwide

Not only does that not sound delusional, it's not posted by me nor written by me??

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I don't know why you are having such a hard time believing someone might not understand what you're saying.

[–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Im having a hard time believing you dont remember your own point

But I dont really have time for you to sober up, so unless you can get your shit together Im probably bored of babysitting you

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I don't know what you thought was my point. That's why I'm asking!
