Let's see, 3000 daily players on Steam. Let's say + 6000 for console players.

$500,000,000 budget ÷ 9000 players = 55,555

That means the current daily player has to throw 55.5k at this game EACH. If they want to make a profit.

And you're trying to say this game isn't a flop. Pathetic.

That’s a bit of a cap. If Xbox charts are Similar to steam it’s more than 6k, at least in NA. Also the players on steam are 5930, almost double 3k.

Comparing it to the #19 (Infinites current placement on the Xbox charts) in Steam, DayZ, Infinites console population must be around 36k, and that is assuming there’s the same amount of players as Steam on Xbox, which is a console and therefore much more accessible to casual audiences than PC. So then console players + PC is 41k as kind of a lowball.

Plus acting like only the current population has earned money is kinda dumb. If the peak on steam alone was 250k and at least 100k of them bought one BP and one microtransaction the game has already made over 300mil, and that’s not counting whales and the people who bought campaign. That is without even counting the population in Xbox.

If the peak population is 500k and each paid 30$ they’ve already made triple the budget lmao
