“I think we all know this is a $30-$40 game at best, but it’s not in our control to determine those things”, said one employee who worked on the project.

Love it

It's a AAAA game tho!

This is true of most games.

Yeah but, Super Metroid has less than 5 million players right now.

(< 5M) =/= (1M)🤦🏼‍♂️

No shit. You guys need to step outside or something.

Obviously Metroid on the SNES doesn't have 5mil active players right now.

Even the most popular games only ever really have a few hundreds of thousands of players on at any given time. I've never once seen a game that has managed to keep the concurrent player count at or over a million for more than a single day.

Ya got me. It was over a million twice and not just once.
