  • With game development being a long, hard process, and game developers being laid off in their thousands, there are plenty of promising games that get lost along the way. But despite our being sad about it, games we’re excited for continue to get canceled, and studios we love continue to get closed. Join us now as we take a moment for seven more great games that, without some major unforeseen intervention, you will never get to play.

      Can't wait for another studio to do another "not connected at all, but still shares the same name" reboot that gets another new fanbase, only for it to never get a sequel either.

    Note that the 200 million copies sold figure attached to the Sims includes any DLC expansion as a copy. So by that logic, you bought 3 copies of Witcher 3, two copies of Elden Ring, five copies of Borderlands 2, etc.
    The ACTUAL number of Sims base games sold total is around 40~50 million.
    Numbers do lie.

      Kind of like how either the DS or the PS2 have the most console sales of all time, but which one it is depends on whether or not you count the different iterations of DS, including the DSi (Ds vs DS Lite is one thing, since it's no different than the PS2 vs the PS2 slim, but the DSi is a weird one that's harder to decide how it fits in.)

    • @patrickphelan279

      There is something to be said about how THOROUGHLY the Sims marketing strategy is focused on DLC, admittedly - and that might be "that is bad, why are you doing that, oh wait you are Electronic Arts, okay I get it, still bad though", but it does mean you do have to kind of nod at the DLC. Maybe "Forty to fifty million sold, including thirty million large expansions and around seventy million smaller 'stuff packs'" would be worth the saying. I'm pulling the numbers out of my hat here.

    • @Dark_Mishra

      Agreed. As someone who’s bought almost every version of Skyrim, I fully understand how game devs use their stats and sales numbers to lie to consumers. When it comes to actual “unique buyers” of most games I’d bet the true sales number is maybe as low as half of what they say. Tons of people bought the base game of Sims, Skyrim, Witcher, etc, but I’d be willing to bet most players aren’t buying season passes or DLCs, so they wait to buy the cheaper bundles/GotY/Complete editions of the game.
      It’s even worse for app devs because they go by “total downloads” NOT actual sales. When tons of people have owned several models of phones and multiple devices by now, and they’re redownloading the app to their multiple, the unique sales numbers for an app might be as low as 20% of what they claim - especially for games like Minecraft! I’ve bought 3 versions of that myself for the Xbox 360, PS4 and Switch.

I liked what the second one was doing, it looked like Mirrors Edge crossed with Mass Effect: play a bounty hunter in a cyberpunk alien city. I'm not aware of another game doing anything like that. It could be set in a handful of existing sci-fi universes, too.
