Pearl Abyss sold two million copies of Crimson Desert, but how many returns will there be?

Today, players everywhere are buzzing about the release of the new game from the Land of the Morning Calm, Crimson Desert. Pearl Abyss already says they printed 2M copies ahead of launch.

Not all of it is smooth sailing, though. On Steam the action title shot up the sales chart and hit a peak of ~240k concurrent players, but that 58% "Mixed" score reflects real complaints — e.g., performance hiccups and design choices that didn't sit well with parts of the community.
