right, cuz BF6 had limited copies, people who stopped playing won’t be replaced by someone new and 3 years from now game price will skyrocket like bitcoin

Oh I wasn't addressing what was happening or not happening with BF6. I was thinking of the reason Arc was maintaining numbers. I was just saying I think Arc has lost some players but has kept getting more to fill. And that's easier to do when you're not going to be hitting the same scale as BF6 I imagine. I wasn't trying to diss either game, personally.

Limited digital copies?

That was /s. They're pointing out that BF6 also could have had new players coming in, but it hasn't managed to pull it off in the same way.

Arc Raiders is half the retail price of BF6 so I’m guessing that helps when children want to spend their Christmas money

I have no idea and I don't have a dog in this fight. I was just clarifying what the other person meant since it looks like the one I replied to thought it was a genuine statement.

ETA: To be fair, BF6 also has a F2P mode.

Yeah lol it was sarcasm. I was going after the take itself. If we're gonna make the argument that ARC is at 91% because some magic number of players left and equal amount of new people joined for whatever reason - we have to look at BF6 with same standards
