State of Decay 2 - Celebrates 3 Million Players with Today’s Release of the Independence Pack
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Expansions are paid (the first two are included with the Ultimate Edition), but they're obviously adding some free content into the game as well.
Jumped back into this game today, still don't really know what I'm doing but enjoy romping around and finding resources. Will try to put more time into it over the summer for sure, glad to see it's been such a success. I'm still kind of blown away it was the #1 game last month.
You should go into it knowing you're not going to be able to make everyone happy, all of the time. It is a zombie apocalypse after all!
Gotcha, thanks. I think in my head I mixed it up with Sea of Thieves which is supposed to have free content updates.
Dude it's common sense. 3m active players of Gaas games which are basically never ending will obviously make more money than sp only game which you play once and move on . Gow unit sold obviously higher and will remain higher as price goes down more people will buy it but it won't match revenue generate by paid DLC content nd all.
You getting salty coz I mentioned Gow but what I'm saying it's common sense.
Halo 5 sold less units than Halo 3 but made more money . How? It's Gaas game with Microtransactions that's how. Same for Gears 4.

Microsoft give us the best edition with game pass already. EA actually has the right idea for once.
I guess I don't really understand what it means? Surely, games like Halo and Gears have sold more copies on the first day. So maybe they mean it sold 2 million copies faster down to the hour? Which wouldn't be saying too much due to the ease of trying the game on Game Pass the moment it releases, and higher digital rates than the past too.
All that said, it is of course great to see so many people playing State of Decay 2 via purchase or Game Pass.
It's not common sense, and I assure you, I'm not upset. You said:
And I strongly disagreed. As I said before, we'll know by the end of the year.
I don't understand these questions. Why wouldn't it count? Game Pass is a service by Microsoft. Microsoft gains money with Game Pass. Of course it counts for the MAU metric.
The sales numbers obviously don't include Game Pass users as it isn't a sold game technically.
It's not rocket science imo.
Difficulty settings would be great. It would appease both new and experienced players. Have you tried playing with someone a little more experienced? I think co-op is still pretty buggy, but it might help you learn the ropes a bit!
YouTube. You'll find a ton of information about how to actually play the game if you start looking around on YouTube. The map will tell you what type of resource is in a given building so target building supplies first and things you are low on second. Also, don't break open ruck sacks (I did that in State of Decay).
