Guild Wars 2

So apparently you don’t like people saying your game is a succeas. For the past couple days people were believing this is the second most popular P2P MMO ever. But apaerently its not your first game is. It was awesome to know that the gw2 that’s been at 3 million copies for idk how long was at 7M. Huge let down.

Well, they didn’t say it wasn’t at 7 millions, they said it was to early to get an accurate numbers. I’m pretty sure GW2 is doing better than GW1 did, but it’s mostly due to MMO becoming more popular.

Or they could just tweet we haven’t sold a kittening copy no one wants to play are kitten. #GW3

Is there any point to this thread at all?

No

So let me get this straight: you’re annoyed that ANet corrected people’s expectations of numbers sold by saying the numbers weren’t accurate?

At least they admitted mistakes were made.

Arenanet had to react. Numbers based on a wrong assumption can cause a lot of damage. If the impression rises you could easily extract sales number out of severs driven by a company financial analysts would beleaguer certain sites with these data and construct their theories/scenarios about company’s performance and would launch advises to buy/sell certain stocks.

Whether the game is a success or not really isn’t the issue. If false claims are made, then those claims have to be negated. NcSoft is a public company. People buy stocks based on sales numbers. It’s irresponsible to allow that information out in the public. It was the right thing for Anet to do.

That doesn’t mean the game is or isn’t doing well. It just means that they don’t have the correct figures.
