2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Isn't it also the most expensive Blizzard game of all-time? Easier to get bigger numbers with lower folks buying even with fewer folks playing. Not saying this is the case. I know I've seen a MASSIVE amount of Twitch streamers playing it.

Looking at the buisnesswire article linked in the twitter:

Fastest selling based on more units sold on all platforms before launch (through June 5, 2023). Sell-through figures based on reporting received from digital partners and Blizzard internal reports.

That seems like an odd way to say this. They had more Presales, ergo it's fastest selling? Ok.
