"It’s actually probably one of the greatest comeback stories in video games ever, and everyone loves a good comeback story.
With this new reputation, Murray was invited to host a panel at GDC to talk about game development and how to essentially “come back.” Beyond providing tons of interesting insight and valuable information, at one point, Murray reveals that No Man’s Sky is one of the best-selling new IP, ever.
" No Man’s Sky , when it released, and also still two years later, has sold incredibly well," said Murray during the presentation. “It’s gone on to be one of the biggest-selling news IPs of all-time, which sounds very weird to say out loud.”
Murray goes on to note that even to this day, the game is selling at a rate that most AAA games would be happy to get just at launch…"
Okay. I bolded some of the article for you because you still seem to be struggling with this. Maybe it will help.

You and that other guy are talking about a subject you’re not that knowledgeable about. No man’s sky was nicknamed “no mans lie” because of all the things the dev said were in the game but are not. It was one of the worst received launches in history. They did a lot of work to turn it around but people aren’t playing it - no one cares. It has 5k people. Once a game loses its spotlight it never recovers without a RELAUNCH(ff14).
Ah, okay. Sorry for the misunderstanding, then. Clearly, talking about a subject that you are not knowledgeable about is a less than ideal approach. Thanks for pointing that out.
~50,000 players is your “success” goal for Classic?
More players than retail lol.
Yeah, your estimates are unrealistic…

the game dev claims their game is the most popular game? surely they wouldn’t say something like that just to sell more copies
IKR? Just imagine those idiots that paid him to speak at the GDC. And even more idiot game devs sat there and listened to him. Just makes you want to shake your head at the whole thing, doesn’t it?
I can’t believe I fell for that. Do you think I’m someone that game devs dumb things down for?
#feelsdumbman
I guarantee it
Well, there’s no point in us even trying Classic at this point, you guys. Nostradelfus has saved us all the time and trouble.

Oh hey I just realized that no one said this, including me. You’re actually the only one who has said this. Is that important?
oh no, I didn’t quote the guy, cite my sources, describe his tone, and include video evidence. you can ignore everything i’ve said, it’s all invalid
There wont be much world to play with without layering. Servers would die down to around the 500 mark during peak hours.
The success of Classic will be measure by it’s authenticity. It doesn’t need millions of players in order to be a success. If there is just one server up and it is as close to Vanilla as possible, that is a success. Sure, some people will still play pservers, these people never had any intention of playing classic to begin with though. Most pservers will probably end up shutting down though due to their bankrollers going to classic. The only ones I can see staying up are the p2w ones, have fun with that. You are probably going to see Blizzard go after pservers more after classic launches.
MMOs are a declining market. Classic is not going to change that. The reason nobody is making old school MMOs is because there’s not a market for them. Battle Royales are where the money is at in today’s market.
If Classic fails I will be shorting ATVI stock and spending the rest of my time on this earth making sure the company that is responsible for classic failing goes under
Yeah, you also completely missed the point.
Oh, and you either dumbed it down too much until it misrepresented the information or you never comprehended it in the first place, I’m having trouble figuring that part out.
Most of what you listed above is irrelevant, but quoting might be a good idea for you until you get the hang of it.
So you have a problem with layering? Do you hate cake? Because cakes have layers.

I know I hate cakes with too many layers I like 95% cake 5% frosting, and the multiple layered cakes with the frosting/jelly in the middle ends up making it only 80-85% cake with to much creamy stuff.

idk, i thought the point of your post was that their game dev was claiming that their post-launch game has been consistently pulling in AAA launch numbers since release. if that doesn’t make it the most popular game ever idk what would
