Microsoft and Rare have announced more than two million people have played Sea of Thieves in its first week.
The game is also the company's "fastest-selling first-party new IP of this generation" and the "best-selling Microsoft Studios first-party title on Windows 10." This does not include people playing via Xbox Game Pass, according to Aaron Greenberg.

Still it is good to see that gaming still going strong outside of mobile. (even if the latest gen of phones and tablets have shown some fairly impressive games.)
This have been a good conversation
No but for real. I played the beta, and was bored before the weekend was even over. Refunded despite my friends still wanting to give it a "Fair Shake". Game released they played 2 days and haven't gone back on since. Dodged a $90 dollar bullet by using common sense. Something many gamer's these days seem to lack.
If it feels shallow, its because it is. The game offers nothing of value. Your options are... Waste time gathering chests that mean nothing more than buying new cosmetics. Or waste more time pvp'ing for 0 gain and 0 consequence. The graveyard zerg mechanics were there worst part, fight, die, re-spawn on ship. Rinse and repeat.
These tweets are a joke. Go back to remastering old Age of Empires games.

If Microsoft continue adding a few new games a month the pass could become attractive - although it obviously depends on what games, what "you" like etc.
I liked the game and think I would have played about a month except for the fact that I couldn't get it installed.

Knocked him out of the shower completely. He was taken to the hospital with some serious injuries, but recovered. The copper lines had to be replaced, as did the hole in his roof where the lightning made contact.
EDIT- Though I will add that direct MTs can still have an adverse effect on design psychology. At least it's much harder to hide.
Stay tuned for more exciting News ...
There are a lot of legitimate negative things that can be said about them whereas other types of MT where you buy exactly what you want, even if those things are grossly overpriced, are just seen as normal transactions.
There's not a day that goes by that I'm not thankful to EA for taking it too far on the wrong game and bringing this dirty little gaming secret into mainstream awareness
