The PlayStation 5 was the best-selling console in the US in February 2024 in terms of units sold and dollar sales, according to figures from Circana (formerly The NPD Group). Circana includes the dates for the four week period of February 4 to March 2.
The new Arrowhead CEO reached out to the Helldivers 2 Reddit page to share his thoughts and tell the community to be peaceful when making suggestions to the developer.
The new Emancipator Exosuit Mech has been added to Helldivers 2, but many players aren't impressed with how it performs.
Very loud minority is complaining. I see people using one in every round i play and they kick ass, have to remember there are tons of kids that play this game, and they complain about every single little tiny bad thing even if there are 10 pros and 1 con. Also, this is definitely not accurate. I’ve literally seen these mechs destroy chargers and titans, in the gate defense missions with this mech it literally makes it infinitely easier to hold the gates.
What a crock of shit, whoever wrote this just sucks at the game, they’re embellishing everything for some reason. Maybe they have a chip on their shoulder against the developers. Stop playing the game if all it does is make you angry, those of use that love the game will continue to appreciate their constant updates and toys to play with.
Matter of fact this post just made me want to play around, see you on the battlefield.
A former Square Enix executive has shed light on sales expectations and budget realities of the Final Fantasy series.
Yea, I love how so many on here did simple math like 3mill x $70 = they made a profit.
When that’s not even close to how this works.
They take the years spent and equate the ROI to the sum % of stock prices during the years of development to do a baseline ROI and then you have the 30% taken out of every sale on a platform EXCEPT for Steam, which is 12%.
Nobody factors in the cost for production of physical media, the cost of advertising, marketing, and the loss from discounts/used game sales and they wonder why selling 3 mill for FF16 isn’t profitable. Or they don’t understand amortization and how games are supposed to generate profit over a long period of time.
Instead, they say Square makes unreasonable expectations for a game to sell when it’s the reality of the cost of AAA development and ROI. I wish I could go back and reply to comments where people jumped down my throat telling me FF16 and FF7 Rebirth were financially successful and I had no idea what I’m talking about.
This honestly does not bode well for the final part of the FF7 series. It often makes me wonder why they ever bothered to remake it at all if this is the thanks they get for making one of the greatest RPGs to exist. All that hooting and hollering at conventions for nothing.
They should have released a PC version too. And no not EGS but Steam and maybe someday GOG
"Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was the #2 best-selling premium game of February, instantly becoming the 4th best-selling game of 2024 YTD. Also debuting on the chart in February was the Final Fantasy VII Remake & Rebirth Twin Pack, placing 8th in February and at #16 for the year."

Congrats to Helldivers and Final Fantasy!
That's great. Now concentrate selling VR headsets Sony.
2nd best in February off literally 1 day of February sales 😂 Feb 29th! But the Internet would have you believe it's a flop
If a $40 game sold more dollar value than a $70 game it must have sold at least 75% more units. Impressive.
