VG247's kneejerk reaction article to Gears 5's relatively low numbers on Steam sure has aged well. ;) Obviously Game Pass is always going to eat into full-price sales to some extent, but Gears 5 was plagued with server and progress issues for around two weeks, so it's no surprise it wasn't putting up big numbers at launch.
Same here. Haven't touched the game in maybe a decade, I'm surprised it's not just totally dead in a ditch yet.
What a beast!
How did it age badly? The quality of the game didn't change and that's all my estimate was based on. I can't help it if people have poor taste.
past 110k now

How is the full MCC port so far? Last time I played it (in the last flight) mic was always on and I couldn't move and crouch at the same time.
As they are not selling a retail version (afaik) there is no way for Cdkeys to get any keys. That makes Surge 2 one of the rare cases where the Steam version sale prices will be cheapest I think.
Jedi Fallen Order was available on Origin Access and it was still big success on Steam, Halo MCC is available on Xbox Game Pass and it still ended up huge success on Steam. It's like that people love to choose where to get their games.
You mean people like choosing Steam and weren't being forced into it due to a lack of competition?
Blasphemy
Gears 5 is a full price game and has bad regional pricing in Europe. Halo is a $40 game, has no Euro regional pricing issues (it's €40) and you'll still have to wait for the full collection. And the Microsoft launcher is super awful. Steam is very attractive for this one.
Gears is also a single player franchise to some. Makes sense that people used a month (or even a free trial) of game pass for Gears but not Halo.
Mixed reaction to that review.
Not sure what I was expecting to be honest, but on the one hand it looks better than I would have thought on a technical level, yet at the same time seems less realized overall than I would have expected from an old-school XCOM vet.
There's a lot of bots "playing" the game since you get free items just for idling (even though there's so many of them they're pratically worthless and it takes forever to get enough items to actually get something worth real money). Still there's still a large enough playerbase to find a match within seconds with the matchmaker despite Valve not bothering to put out updates anymore.
Gears 5 wasnt either
Only around 6k people are actually playing it. The rest are trade bots. Thats not an insult thats actually how why its so high lol
That's a real shame. It's one of the all time greats that everybody should play. Combat Evolved is a defining moment in gaming history. One of my top 5.
You mean according to a couple of shitposters and a used car salesman.
