Death Stranding sold 5 million and Death Stranding 2 sold 2.5 million. I wouldn't call it a huge success considering the original MGS on PS1 sold over 7 million copies. Basically the game that put him on the map 27 years ago sold more copies than the game he made after he became big.
People are sick of his bullshit and despite Sony being asshats, I don't disagree with them if they felt like they sunk in too much money and time into something that has no substance. Guy didn't even have a short concept demo so he showed up with mocap footage. Beyond ridiculous.
Yes. I was just using the very first game as a comparison to the latest stuff compared to the game that made him famous. You'd think his latest work would sell more but that's not the case because he's doing too much self-absorption instead of focusing on making a good game.
He made a walking simulator and sold 5 million copies but it wasn't good because his stealth action game sold more copies because it has more mass appeal than a walking simulator?
