Allegations of stolen GTA V assets

There have been various allegations about this game such as one accusing RedThread of stealing assets from GTA V or at least copying the frame of an apartment building from GTA V. Should this be added to the reception section, or is this information not concrete enough to include? Edelgardvonhresvelg (talk) 04:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Sales

Regarding this edit.

The peak number of concurrent players says little to nothing about the sales. In theory, it could be 80 new players playing the game every hour, or it could be the same 80 players playing the game every hour. Moreover, the source does not appear to be commenting on whether the game "failed to attract players". Its speculative comment translates to "The launch of Dustborn appears to have gone rather poorly" (emphasis added). Lastly, the figure does not reflect the numbers on Xbox, PlayStation, and Epic Games Store, so it cannot be used for broad statements about the game anywhere except on Steam.

So what about Eurogamer reported that the game's launch on Steam seems to have gone "rather poorly", reaching a peak player count of only 83 concurrent players on the platform --FMSky (talk) 07:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
That is in line with the source, however, as I mentioned on WP:AN, it's not a statement about sales, nor can the number of sales be reasonably inferred from that data point. Unless Misplaced Pages allows for a way for that information to exist somewhere outside a Sales section, it should be removed altogether. Daisy Blue (talk) 07:11, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Then just remove the "Sales" heading and list it under Reception --FMSky (talk) 07:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Per WP:VGLAYOUT, "Reception: This should detail how the game was received by critics." (emphasis mine). Daisy Blue (talk) 07:22, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
You know we also have In the week following the game's release, it failed to reach the Top 100 games sold on Steam, both globally and in Norway., as well as failing to appear in the Top 40 most played games on Xbox and PS5.. What is the problem with that --FMSky (talk) 07:24, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
