minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish42•19 days agoYeah I went to Wikipedia to check the numbers : The group’s “main catalogue”—songs released between 1962 and 1970—consists of 213 songs So that’s like 50+ songs that were “hits”, wake me up when Gearbox releases 200+ games and 50 of those are nominated for at least one awards

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•17 days agoYeah idk what else can be a testimony of a game being a “hut” ; I don’t trust metacritic scores either
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•17 days agoSale count and player numbers on launch would be better I suppose
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•18 days agoAlso, it’s not like the songs that didn’t make the charts were bad, they just didn’t hit the charts. Back then I believe only singles were eligible for the charts, not the rest of the album.
