WoW launched as a complete game from the start. Sea of Thieves didn’t.

MMO's are never "complete". They're continually updated.

Way to ignore the various mission types within each faction, skeletons, sharks, skeleton forts, leveling up to become Pirate Legend and gaining access to the Athena faction, Krakens, the challenge of sailing a ship, learning the map, the co-op social aspect and the PvP ship and land battles that were all there at launch.
I'm a day one Sea of Thieves player and never felt ripped off due to lack of content. Yes, if Rare wasn't on the ball and didn't update the game in a timely manner with new content then that would have sucked. That didn't happen though and Rare brought new content to the game shortly after launch and had a hit game on their hands.

I never realized PushSquare was a PS-only website. You learn something new every day.

Your need to move goalposts for console warring purposes never ceases to amaze.
Vanilla WoW, at launch, was a complete product. It got some content updates after - but it wasn't lacking content to begin with.
Sea of Thieves *was* incomplete at launch. It took 3 years before it got to a decent content level that would have warranted a release.

I just started the game, but I'm having second thoughts about the pirate I selected. If I delete my pirate, do you know if I'll still have access to my pre-order pet bird and other cosmetics? I'm early enough in the game that I don't think my progress would matter very much. Any thoughts or advice?SoT PS5 ads on GAF:

Don’t delete your pirate.
They sell a potion in the shop for $1.50 and you can use that to re-roll your appearance.

Thank you! That will be well worth $1.50, and now I don't feel in a rush to decide.Don’t delete your pirate.

But SoT was an early access title disguised as a full game at launch. It was well noted in reviews when it released

The Guardian review: 5/5

Sea of Thieves on PlayStation 5 review – you’ll laugh, you’ll sail, you’ll drink grog until you’re sick
You’re pirates on the ocean wave, fighting sea monsters and digging up buried treasure, but you’re also larking about playing musical instruments

It was definitely not, especially at launch. Look at the launch reviews from companies not IGN. It took them many years to make the game serviceable.

You said it took "MANY YEARS". It's been out for six. I showed you the game update history showing the exact dates everything was added (the majority of the recognizable stuff was in by the anniversary update), you're posting Day 1 stuff.

It did take many years. For it to be in a state where it's doing well on PS5. I didn't specify how many.

It would've done well on PS5 if they released the anniversary edition (the ONE YEAR edition). That's not "many years"

Agree to disagree. I don't think the player base will last long anyway. Game is fun for a couple of weeks. I might check it out on PS5 if it comes out on PS+. I mainly played it on PC.

The player base continues to grow. They hit 40 million right before the PS5 beta. They'll be at 50-60 million before the fall at this pace with PS5, especially with it in the top 10 games on the US and UK PSN.

Glad to see the UK supporting Rare#1 game on UK PSN
Can’t say I agree, or it definately wouldn’t be averaging 85 and getting top scores from publications.

The vast majority of what makes the game was in there by the one-year update. Since then has been seasons adding smaller QoL updates and refinements.

Which we have already shown in other threads, that "40 million" is nonsense. Lot of folks who downloaded it, played it for maybe 1-2 minutes and never returned. That does not make a lively and active player base. Try again.

Where's the data that will show how many of the 40 million have played only for 1-2 minutes?

Well, it certainly has a lively and active player base on Steam (28k peak CCUs in the past 24 hours) and Xbox (hasn’t dropped out of the top 50 most played Xbox game since release).
