They put the game on PS+ just 11 months after release and the 1-year exclusivity on EGS.
Congrats to SE, FFXVI is heading there.

Those don't count as sells, maybe they should go by players or engagement or how many times players pressed square.

FFXVI feels like it will almost certainly pass this. Probably at about 5 right now? Then some sales and PC?

Bought it digital then physical a couple years later lol, will probably buy it again if the twin pack has a physical release.

Oh yeah I know, I was just making the point that selling 7million copies for a game that was available for free less than a year after release is very good.
The game has also been available under PS+ for quite some time.
So they would have made money from the 7mil copies, merchandise, exclusivity deals with Sony (12months then an extension), PS+, Epic store exclusivity. Must have made them a nice chunk of change hence why they increased the budget for Rebirth.

Well deserved, its a pretty good game, and FFVII Rebirth looks to be even better in every way

2.87m players were chosen to get fucked by Don Corneo
6.2m players were confused about their sexuality after seeing Cloud in a dress.
Who doesn't want to know about these great engagement stats?

Not releasing a Switch version was a major missed opportunity for SE.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
PC version released between then and now as well.

The "shipped AND sold" always gets me.

Inter grade was given away for free, I got it on PS Plus, so no.

Mmmm..... yeah nah.
I think the lack of Xbone/Xbox Series, and releasing it 11 months after launch on PS+ alongside the EGS 1 year exclusivity hurt them.

I honestly feel bad for not buying it and playing it on the sub. Not because the need the money but because I was so sure it was going to suck so hard that I was practically scared to try it. Turns out it's amazing. I've actually been junking it on my second playthrough for the last week.

They got money for both those things tho but the epic move was indeed trash.

If twin pack has a dual game case and a manual or whatnot, I will get it. If they bundle it with stupid statues for $300, forget about it.

500,000 players bought the game just so they could leave negative reviews on Steam
