"I was actually *just* wondering. The only ones who are truly affected by sale numbers are EA and Bioware, and they will now these numbers before anyone else. Also, one of the reasons why I wonder is because sale figures have often been used as a tool to bring down people who like the game and mark their opinion as false, bad, invalid and wrong. Apparently none in the world can like the game if it sells bad and those who do are idiots, correct?"
People like to discuss things. that's what the internet is for. *shrug*
Aye, and while I've argued that the game is selling poorly I would agree with you here.
The thing is that's not really why people are using this as an argument, or rather they are just trying to strengthen their case that the game is bad in a debate in large parts focused around taste.
But I don't hold it against anyone who thinks that DA2 was wonderful, nor do I need low sales to prove that I didn't like it; all while I understand people that simply want to say "hey look, more than me and myself does agree with me!", it's partly a silly egotistical point, but does more than any one crying foul raise the problem that somewhere in the production and PR DA2 partly failed, at least it failed to sell better than DA:O (and one could argue that due to lower production costs it still made more money per production hour than DA:O).
But it's a valid point, the problem is that people use it to validate their opinions on the game - for example I cringe when ever someone claims that the game sold less because of the bisexual content or the companions (I liked the companions in large more than in DA:O, and I liked that I could experience all the romances with each gender, even if I only experienced the female ones).
And this does irk me, but in the end by playing the retard, and I know that you aren't, you don't get anything more done but further degrading the forums.
Now if your plan is to further diminish the use of these forums by yourself posting trash and goading others into doing so - well done, you have certainly succeeded in lowering the quality here from low low to even lower.
& I’m actually drunk so sorry about my own posting quality, well lack there of, being even lower than general.
