BG2 came out in 2000. It didn’t exactly have a huge sales happening in 2023 either. It was largely considered as a shelved IP. Yet BG3 came out with massive success. My point is that you have no point. DA was (I would say “is” if veilguard wasn’t such a horrible piece of shit) a strong IP with or without inquisitions long tail given from past sales alone. No one ever goes and says their best selling product ever is a weak IP. It’s completely bollocks that you’re framing it as a weakening IP. Clearly BioWare thought it was strong too since they’ve spent huge amount of budget into veilguard. You’re presuming you know more than their huge investment and sales projection team about Inquisition sales.
Besides, how would you even know if Inquisition had a long tail or not? You have no figures, this game was released exclusively on ea platform at first and continued to be for a long time until it was finally released on steam. I know, because I remember begrudgingly buying it on ea origin. Steam’s public data in this is hardly a meaningful pie. My 12m Inquisition data on sales was their Sept 2024 release info. Which I assume BioWare released to imply a long tail and and continued popularity to get more sales into veilguard. But let’s not assume.
Btw, I didn’t say you said it didn’t have a lot of sales either.
