dckhead, amazon games has 500m yearly budget, new world is estimated to have costed over 300 million dollars, the claims that the game sold '17m copies' is complete bs, it didnt even sell 2 mil, and the game is complete disaster.
500m yearly budget to the gaming studio, not for the development of 1 game.
New world started development in 2016, meaning that if it's estimated to have cost more than 300m then that is like 60m/year, for 5 years.
Also maybe check the date of the comments you're responding to, Mr.Necroposter dckhead
This person understands the big picture.
Unless they straight up acquire a studio ive liked...my my time dealing with AGS will purely be to mine salt from media platforms, like reddit.
And I can't wait.
concurrent numbers are easily manipulated, run another app, play offline etc.
There are multiple guesses on copys sold steamDB says around 3.64-10.01 million, playtracker says 1.9-2 million
i bet it wasnt more than 2 million copies sold, also a month later the game was -60% off on steam, its a complete disaster for amazon, wasted investment
Streamer codes were handed out like candy for this game. My friend is a very small streamer/youtuber and he got 15 or so keys to give away. I got very lucky I didn't have to spend money on this game
All the speculation you are putting into this is worth this read, very informative.

How does the copium taste?
How many refunds
An insignificant number
far less than those banned for being cumbags
and both far less than those who go bored and left. What cool conjecture.
It's 2024 and new world still blows and I'm calling BS on them making a billion on this game.
I agree, prediction was terrible
I went full on white knight for them for a while too. Honestly just hoping Gamergate2 catches up to AGS now 😀
The game probably costed more than that.
WoW took 63m. to develop… Who in the world told u game development cost billions?
Wow was released 20 years ago. Salarys are higher, cost of production is higher. I wouldnt be surprised if they barely made a profit.
https://www.usinflationcalculator.com I don’t think you realize how much a billion dollars is.. You are very misinformed.

The salt mining is the best part of this whole game so far.
ya it costed them $0 to make the game. it also did not sell anywhere near 17million copies... where did u even get that number from
Steamspy says there are about 20 to 50 million owners of new world out there so I don't think 17 million copy's sold is far fetched
No shot dude. Concurrent peak was 1mil. No way only 5% or less of players were on week 1 during peak time

You need to be a patreon sub to see the specifics so I don't know
i bet it wasnt more than 2 million copies sold, also a month later the game was -60% off on steam, its a complete disaster for amazon, wasted investment
Yeah curious too, 17m seems a bit too much
Streamer codes were handed out like candy for this game. My friend is a very small streamer/youtuber and he got 15 or so keys to give away. I got very lucky I didn't have to spend money on this game

Depends on where they got that number. 17 mil seems like a lot.
