As much as I love the Doom games I'm not really a fan of the $70 price tag. The Doom games are great games but it's not like they are in my top 5 favorite games or anything like that. I'll wait for a sale.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how they want it to be. If they were interested in selling games they wouldn’t put them day one on gamepass.

So much I don't know here. Like what an 80.lv is, what their source Alinea Analytics is or what either of their credibility is, why a second source (Ampere) arrived at a PS5 number that deviated from Alinea's by over 100%, why this didn't make 80.lv question the veracity of the claim they opted to put in their headline, what sales even mean in the context of Game Pass, why I would care about the potential profitability of a game I don't care about, why I clicked this post, am writing this comment, or why Microsoft opts to be complicit in Israel's genocide.
They're a market research agency, and are well-known and credible enough. See: https://80.lv/contact-us
I care about industry news. Hence the post.
That price was doomed.
Yeah no shit. My battlenet launcher wanted $100 for it.
For me anyway, my loss of interest in the DOOM franchise began when they started dehumanizing the Doom Marine and started stacking fantasy/medieval elements to the main protagonist and his arsenal. They turned a futuristic space marine who just got punished for punching an officer into some sort of fantastic demigod thing. It got really bad in Doom Eternal already.
I like my DOOM games when it is a battle of sci-fi military forces against demonic forces. Human technology versus the hordes of hell. But now with Dark Ages Bethesda turned the franchise into a more violent and edgy Skyrim.

Fewer than. *
No less than is correct because they know the exact number they have sold.
If you've sold less than 1,000 units then you have sold a number of units that is under 1,000.
If you have sold fewer than 1,000 units you have not sold 1,000 units but you're not sure how many units you have sold just that that number didn't reach 1,000.
But they do know how many units they sold, otherwise they wouldn't know if they had sold less than 1,000 so it is "less than".

I hope this shows companies that selling their games at 80 Euro is not the way to go.
Well they added a mandatory "parry" system to a doom game, what did they expect?
Expedition 33 kinda takes all my time.
I paid about £3.50 for Doom 2016 last week and around £12 for eternal, having not played a doom game since Doom 3's launch. I'm enjoying the 2016 one and will look forward to Eternal in a week or 3 once I finish that. what I won't do is pay £70 for a doom game. I might consider a games for windows sub to get it that way, but that remains to be seen.

I watched a few levels of it. This game has already been made. It's called Painkiller and I beat it 20 years ago.
