[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9731889, member: 18"] That's why I said compare 2018 to 2028, not compare 2018 to 2025 so... not sure what your point is... could you explain? LOL no it absolutely is not, what are you talking about? Do you think that Larian stopped paying WotC? I assure you they did not and cannot. They've got is believed to be a 12% up-front cut going directly into WotC's veins and BG3 will be providing that for as long as keep selling, and as a top-rated PC RPG, that's probably at least another 5-10 years of surprisingly good sales. Just look at other top-rated PC RPGs who tend to go past 30-50m copies sold. It's doing that without BG3 [I]release[/I] money, sure though, is that what you mean? But last time they like what, at least $80m, maybe over $100m on a 4-5 months of BG3 sales? Now they've got 12 months from whenever the previous date was to now of BG3 sales, and BG3 is still selling, and still selling well, often/regularly popping back into Steam's top 10. Like, man, it's #11 right now on my chart, and that's accounting for slot #1 and #2 being the Steamdeck (always) and Counterstrike (always). If we eliminate those two as a constant (because they have been for several years), then it's at #9. And that's based on revenue, note, the Steam top 10. Not number of copies sold. Revenue. So it's still pulling in truly huge amounts of money over two years after release (August 2023). [/QUOTE]
