You can't compare sales from twenty years ago and sales from today. Between 2014 and 2020 , there has been one billions more video game players in the world. I don't have the stats for 2000 but if the world gained one billions player in six years, imagine in twenty.
1.5 millions in 2000 is way more significant that 1 millions today. But still, that a great and well deserved success for Larian.


Exactly.

It took DOS2 until November 28, 2017 to reach 1 million units sold:

Which is a conservative estimation and still barely few weeks after the release (mid September 2017).

You're well known for misrepresenting facts to try and lie about them, Tuco.

No, I'm absolutely not. You are making shit up once again.
Am I even supposed to know who you are, anyway?

No matter how you want to slice it, Baldur's Gate has always been more popular then DOS.

Baldur's Gate has been a very successful series... In a niche genre and in a time where games were a lot less popular in general.

Meanwhile, people still play BG and BG2 in large numbers, with an active reddit community.

Yeah, I do as well.
I also play Arcanum, ToEE and Vampire Bloodlines, which no one bought. So fuckin what?


I love ToEE and both VtM games. People don't know what they missed. The animations for critical hits in ToEE always felt CRITICAL, big delay then WHAM!!! Squish lol.
