Yeah, but from a business point of view, it validates what is and isn't a winning move. Likewise, all things considering, maybe it would have sold better on steam?
As for a top-seller though, out of what? I mean if it was a 1st place, out of what, 2 contestants? What kind of half-assed contest is that?
So you are a trekkie too? So tell me, without googling, what is the first rule of acquisition?
Sure, beeing a top seller can validate your move as a company. Personaly I think you should take more data into account but beeing in the top spot is still a positive indicator that something was done right.
As for the "if, maybe, could have, etc." better on steam....that was and is speculation. PGI looked at the data and experiance they had with MWO and steam and went with Epic. One can keep on speculating but at this point and time is pretty useless.
I did say only if the game is released on steam and has an overwhelming number of buyers, then you might be able to say steam would have been the better move but until that point is reached its all just speculations.
As for top-seller out of what. Well Epic dosn't give numbers like 1st place etc. but MW5 is part of the 5 games that are shown on the frontpage of the store beside Borderlands 3, Red Dead Redemtion 2, Jedi Knight Fallen Order and Control.
So that is the competition.
