Was going to buy the game, but the DLC is worth more than double the game, so no thanks.

PC yet again being the only platform that holds out over crappy policies. If all platforms only sold ~50k, then we would see the end to this dlc nonsense.

PC users as we are seem to be more aware of the crap that goes on, it;s why Ubisoft PC sales suck because we don't like Uplay being forced on us and certainly dislike crappy buggy ports and games in general, but of course to a console player it will seem like we aren't very "profitable" even though some users on here are damning Evolve and hoping it sells less on their console of choice, basic hypocrisy 101 lol.

PC always sells a lot less than consoles anyway.

PC yet again being the only platform not worth porting a title over too. The DLC had nothing to do with the poor sales, AAA titles never sell well on PC. You all need a 95% off steam sale in order to purchase anything.

I feel sorry for those that are ignorant to the way PC users purchase their games and decide what is worth their money, when something comes to PC and is broken are we supposed to pay full price for it and lap it up like most console players would?, hell no.

It's more sensible to wait and see, see how the game performs and see if they've actually cared about the platform to put actual care into it, if not they don't get rewarded for it with sales, it's how it's always worked, I don't see consoles raking in the massive MMO sales or Mobas money and even then they wouldn't make enough due to having to pay for online and all that.

Not impressed, Left 4 Dead sold so well.....too much focus on structured co-op, I barely have time to play with my friends, and randoms won't work together like the game needs you to.

Gotta love it, only Xbox could advertise for it, but PS4 still sold more. Still good numbers all around for the first week though.
