Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine has been embroiled in controversy since launch, with fans first accusing the game of using generative AI after spotting odd in-game signage (which Insomniac denied), and then mocking a stealth mechanic involving scent trails dubbed 'fart gas,' prompting Insomniac to nerf the mechanic and its audio indicators in a patch. Despite the mixed reviews and online mockery, a new sales report indicates the game has sold roughly 1.9 million copies on PS5, with more than one in five sales being physical copies. The episode highlights how viral backlash over gameplay design choices did not translate into poor commercial performance for the high-profile superhero title.
