In Lord Bucket Head we trust

I think they meant guaranteed income prior to selling the game, since they had no way of knowing how successful (if at all) the game was going to be once released.

Honestly, I’d be down for that. I love dogs

39.6% of players have beaten the final boss of Elden Ring. Considering how huge the game is, and how difficult it can be, I found that to be a surprisingly large number of people. I’m not sure how that compares to dark souls 3, but Dark Souls 2 has about 33% completion and dark souls 1 (prepare to die edition) has less than 25%

Expect to see memes about it too in other communities. This’ll be the front page of most fediverse instances in some fashion for the rest of the day I imagine

They were being sarcastic, by the way.

Just a heads up, those 8k subs are just the ones that pledged to go dark. The actual total number of subreddits is much higher.

Still, 60% of subs still participating is much higher than I had expected.

It’s kind of odd, because it feels like they do sell promotion at the very least. For instance, Immortals of Aveum (the new EA game) is constantly shown on my store homepage, despite it being more or less a commercial flop. I know that page is customized, but I would have figured that game would be replaced by others now if the selection was fully organic. I had just assumed EA paid for some agreement that would promote the game on the main page for a set amount of time.

I’m sure it’s just coincidence, but their statement just surprised me since the store feels like it promotes specific games already.

That’s not-

Wait a minute. Ha, you almost had me, you sly dog.

Your first clue that you were old is that you were still listening to FM radio.
