    Holy shit, not a single word about the abusive (illegal?) layoffs and the union busting in this article. Not even in the other article linked in the first paragraph! Shame!

    I suppose they wrote an article dedicated to the news at some point (?) but this should be repeated over and over, hammered to the point of damaging their image.

    GTA is a console selling machine and thats why it was delayed to coincide with the console releases.

      I think a game has to actually release to break this record. And in the article, Purchese points out that the current record holder is Duke Nukem Forever, while Beyond Good & Evil 2 might break the record if it ever actually comes out.

      I cant imagine that game being allowed today. Maybe if they replaced the male hero with a young girl hero it would be accepted.

          My username is inspired by the movie 1984. I think we live more in a world similar to Brave New World though, but it has some things from 1984 built in. Like controlling what is seen by the masses as truth and making people self-censor their thoughts, those things I see strongly in todays society, and they are from 1984.

    How does it compare to all the early access games that end up strung along for a decade+ and not officially released?

      At least in that case, the devs have presented playable content. I don’t think I would count that if I was trying to determine the record.

    I’ll have to remember to ask my grandchildren when they inherit my copy of Star Citizen in time for release (I don’t have children).
