Note worthy: the previous Dragon Age game didn't launch on Steam until years after the original release date. To set a new record is very much expected considering that.
Wow. AMAZING numbers that will also, as surely as negative steam reviews from verified purchasers aren't being deleted, not completely fall off a cliff. Dragon's Dogma 2 was getting over 200k on release week....where were all the media outlets doing backflips then? Nah. The stewards of journalistic integrity at the helm chose to focus negative attention, inaccurately, on effectively innocuous DLC. Both are AAA games. Both RPG's. Must be SOME reason for all the fuckery surrounding this game. But WOW, 70K! That's as good as year-old Baldur's Gate 3 currently has. I need to find a large room, or a hallway, so I can do some backflips too, or at least some tumbling. 🙄
Well good for Bioware. The EAxe is not drawn today
