- Crimson Desert developer and publisher Pearl Abyss’ stock price has increased by 24% today following the announcement of its 3 million sales.
- The company’s stock price initially surged 28% before stabilising following the launch of the Korean market today.
- After mixed reviews decreased its stock price by 30% at release, Pearl Abyss has recovered very well by addressing issues with the title.
Following a messy launch, marred with mixed reviews, performance issues, and fan criticism, Crimson Desert has managed to turn the tide in just a few days. Developer Pearl Abyss has paid special attention to fan feedback, updating the game with patches immediately.
As a result, the open-world title has risen to a positive rating on Steam after opening with a score worse than Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Now, due to Crimson Desert returning to the good graces of players, the stock price of Pearl Abyss has also seen a massive surge.
Why it matters: Pearl Abyss has showcased how fan opinion can be changed by paying attention to the community and fixing the issues they have responsibly and swiftly.
Following the commercial success of Crimson Desert, Pearl Abyss’ stock price has increased by a whopping 23.59%. After the Korean stock market opened today, the publisher’s stock value initially went up by 27.76% before stabilising.
Just recently, Crimson Desert officially passed 3 million copies sold worldwide despite opening to a mixed reception. Hence, it’s no surprise that the developer’s stock has shot up by such a huge margin even though the open-world title has been embroiled in controversies.
Due to Crimson Desert’s rollercoaster release week and underwhelming reception, Pearl Abyss initially lost 30% of its stock price on the market. However, the game has recovered really well by addressing concerns like AI-generated art swiftly and releasing updates to improve aspects like the janky controls and hard bosses.
Moreover, the developers are also working on the lack of support for the Intel Arc GPUs and consistently asking fans to report any bugs or other problems with Crimson Desert on their portal.
