Yeah, I'm comparing their performance is terms of scores and accolades. Deadfire had no marketing, maybe because the game was too expensive to make, and it shows when you look at its graphics, it is a technical marvel.


I don’t know how much of this you can blame on marketing, though. The way the internet works, I would feel safe betting that most of the people who bought PoE1 know about PoE2. That such a small percentage came back for a second bight suggests to me that something was very wrong beyond not enough marketing.

Well using myself as an example played PoE1, loved it to the point that it made me a CRPG nerd, playing BGEE trilogy and IWD thereafter, and I did not know about Deadfire's release for at least around a year after release.
