[Rant] In which Dope has very simple business concepts explained to him

Jam it back in, in the dark.

FIFA is a more marketable franchise than NHL, Jesus fucking Christ.

It's a shame EA doesn't give numbers for the sales from their PC versions of these games, but the console numbers are pretty insane, if vgcharts is to be trusted. (And they're generally not that bad.)

From the numbers on that site, FIFA on the PS3 and 360 outsold NHL on the same two consoles almost 2 to 1, IN AMERICA. I can't imagine the PC market would be that different either. Add in European sales and holy shit your ratio gets extremely skewed.

But a little research and common sense would be a lot to ask from you, I think.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Of which Peter Moore has already explained as due to lack of sales.

This is fucking rocket science, ain't it?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Do you have a problem with context or something?

How ya doing, buddy?

Holy shit. It's not, for fuck's sake. But the sales for these two particular games clearly aren't good enough to bother with the additional cost of doing entries for that platform.

This rant of yours is blind sensationalist bullshit, and you're not looking at any facts whatsoever, even when it's right under your nose. When someone from the company says in no unclear terms that it's not worth developing for a specific platform due to sales on the other ones, it doesn't make sense to just turn around and say "neener neener you're lazy. These reasons you have made up have nothing to do with general business practices and you trying to make a profit, and has everything to do you with you sitting on your damn ass."

Come the fuck on here. We're not being vague. This shouldn't be too hard to figure out. If you can't put one and one together, I don't think we can really help you.

Tell me, how do you decide which half of his quote is relevant and which isn't? You've got this almost Lix-like sense of entitlement and selective comprehension going on that's really starting to scare me.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Fantastic idea.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Will you be quiet? If he actually stops I won't have a legitimate excuse.
