So... No accounting for how many of these sales came from bundles/GOTY editions, and we are just going off his memory of the sales numbers?
Great reporting, this really vindicated Horse Armor's legacy...
Yeah I had the GOTY edition with shivering isles etc, but if it came with the horse armor I have no memory of it. I certainly didn't buy it with horse armor in mind. I'd like to know if that was included in the figures.
We know pretty damn well that people buy cosmetics though, especially in the current gaming landscape. So he's right, and we all lost something important here
I mean, if you asked me something like that about our system's sales, I'd have an answer for you in a few minutes. But then, I'm BI and not Accounting, so I'm probably more proficient at pulling aggregated data straight from the archive DB.
I didn't expect him to do anything. But does he expect anecdotal evidence provided without context to change my mind on horse armor? Come on man!
