See if you can get the explaination in between you calling some hairy-arsed drunken Scot "English" and his fist interestingly (and painfully) rearranging your facial features...

Americans call scones "biscuits"? No way, you're kidding me right?
These are biscuits, yes...

In this respect the British usage of the word biscuit was defined in the defense of a tax judgement found in favor of McVitie's and their product Jaffa Cakes which the Inland Revenue claimed was a biscuit and was therefore liable to value added tax. The successful defense rested on the fact that 'biscuits go soft when stale, whereas cakes go hard when stale.'
Now you doubt it? A few posts back:Volourn said:1. I doubt TOEE sold 500k copies.
Publishers often operate outside of laws of logic, which is why BG3 - a guaranted hit - was never released, despite being 90% completed. Atari didn't want to dilute the brand with too many DnD games, betting on the DnD online and DnD RTS games instead.2. I doubt Atari made as money with TOEE as it did with NWN. If it had, we'd have TOEE expnasions, more patches and a sequel. You know like NWN with 2 expansions, a sequel, tons of patches, different releases.
Don't tell me how pathetic my ideas are. Prove me wrong. I presented you my reasoning above. Where is yours?This idea that TOEE was super profitable - now you are comparing it to one of the most successful Western RPGs - is beyond pathetic.
Were you being sarcastic? Back when I lived in Japan I ate at Popeye's Chicken specifically for the biscuits (well, and the fries). Also, if you've ever eaten at a Cracker Barrel you know how good good-ole fashioned country biscuits can be.Wow, they look horrible

Wow, they look horrible - I only like fruited scones.

My mind clear for those cna read. I don't doubt TOEE outsold the two NWN expansions during 2004 espicialy since that comes from Atari themselves. i do, in fact, doubt it sold 500k copies hwoever. And, you have yet to prove that it did.
"So, by that rate, NWN epxansion likely sold about 500k each..."
Not in 2004, however. Geez. Can't you even follow. We know that TOEE outsold the expansions in 2004. We do NOT know if it has outsold them overall. Just like the BG series expansions did not sell 500k+ copies in their first year of release neither did the NWN expansions. And, again, outselling expansions is not a surefire way to prove you were a success.
"Don't tell me how pathetic my ideas are."
L0L Whining about me telling you what to do then you try to tell me what to do. Talk about a circle jerk.
" Prove me wrong."
Prove yourself right. Prove that it sold 500k, and was a success.
" I presented you my reasoning above. Where is yours?"
I gavce you my anecdotal evidence just as you have me yours. You claim that because it outsold two EXPANSIONS during one year that somehow makes it a success. You then make a claim that it sold 500+k copies with no actual proof. I also put forth the fact that outside of Bl which was already signed, Troika couldn't find any backers to even make another game. if TOEE was even remotely a success; I';m sure that at the very least Atari would have got them to do another or at least another minor publisher would take the bait. But, no........ Absolutely NOTHING.
So, in essence, you didn't read anything I wrote, because I have posted my reasoning for felling that TOEE was ultimately a failure MULTIPLE times.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
