What I checked
This is a storefront sample, not a poll of every player. The DLC page separately shows 58 percent positive from 553 reviews. Language and purchase filters change the denominator, so these figures should not be compared directly with the older all-purchase API research totals. Concurrent player peaks are not unit sales; no verified total sales figure is published on this page.
What the arguments are actually about
Story readers argue about Cesare. That debate is on the ending page, labeled as interpretation. Performance posts are about stutter and PS5 Pro frame pacing. I do not have a frame-time capture, so those posts stay anecdotal.
Video essays from channels such as IGN, gameranx, and Skill Up exist. I am not embedding them. The scores page already cites IGN’s 8/10 article.

FAQ
How many copies sold?
Not published. “Better than expected” is the executive line. 35,247 is a Steam peak, not a sales number.
Do players like the ending?
The ending attracts disagreement, but an aggregate recommendation percentage does not isolate reactions to one scene. The ending page labels motive discussion as interpretation.
