What happened to that dev now?
It was priced dropped in a sale recently. I am sure it is possible to get the game cheaper through other key sellers like it is the case with most PC games.

Valve leaks Steam game player counts

Still maintaining the game, IIRC. It's a day-z like game, so it's something he still works on. Shit, at 27 million sales, dude should continue working on it as long as he can. That's a certified major hit, low cost or not. That number is fucking insane. Major props to the dev.
Good for him then. He sounds like a millionaire with all these sales.
Hopefully, he can work on another project in the future since he has plenty of his life ahead.
I dunno if he's a millionaire -- the game was dirt cheap, like under a dollar or something like that IIRC. And at times, it's also been free. (EDIT: just looked, and it's currently free to play, with a $5 upgrade or something).
I hope he is financially secure, though. I mean, 27 million players is something major AAA games from thousand-man studios would kill for.
Im heartened that Terreria is so huge, I have really fond memories with that game. Starbound never grabbed me in the same way (at least its early iterations when I last checked in).
Did you miss the biweekly "PUBG broke another record" threads? lol.
How cheap do you want it to drop? It was like $25 recently. It is not going to drop below $10 anytime soon.
I must have missed them recently. Those threads were popping up like a year ago. PUBG never really gets talked about here anymore (unless I'm blind).
Bluehole has got to get this thing on PS4 and Switch if it's this big!
I'm genuinely surprised GTAV isn't higher. That game seems to dominate in terms of pure exposure across the entire industry.
Resident Evil 6 1,317,100
Resident Evil 5 1,005,089
Resident Evil 4 704,953
Resident Evil 7 668,829
Resident Evil Revelations 2 658,030
Resident Evil Revelations 503,330
Resident Evil HD Remaster 415,885
REmake selling less than the shit that is Rev1 is fucking insulting.

GTAV stays at a high price. Alot of these games go on sale for $5 and they get huge sales from that. That's why i wish we had revenue numbers.
Yeah, wow:
Code:
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 13,235,488 72850
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition 4,398,897 489830There's a lot of meat here with these numbers on the whole, but the sheer bulk of the Skyrim numbers still amazes me. I think I'd maybe argue that The Elder Scrolls is in that rarefied tier of gaming phenomenons just under GTA and Minecraft and right alongside stuff like PUBG. Insane for a singleplayer game.
Eh? Probably during the recent summer sale (which I didn't pay much attention to). I'll grab it next time.
Rev1 had a two year head start though. Pretty good, all things considered imo
It goes by achievements, so I think you'd have to have played the game at least once.
Those numbers aren't surprising given the last data we had before SteamSpy lost the info. That being said, these numbers don't include people who own a game but never played it so that is going to hit sequels pretty hard. Even if you Trails 3rd, for example, you probably wouldn't install it or launch it if you haven't beat Trails SC.
I'm pretty sure they gave Unturned for free a few years ago. I have it on my library yet i never played it or bought it at all.
Rockstar Social Club keys are not counted here, this is only Steam.
Wait is that the new way people were getting data that was pretty damn recently killed by Valve rounding numbers, or is that something else?
Final Fantasy XV is at 490K. That's not bad, but not tremendous.
Fallout 4 is sitting at 6.6 mil. That's pretty good. Not quite Skyrim, but that has had a few more years and a whole 2nd edition to get to the 13 mil number.
Edit: Made a mistake of 200K for FFXV. Almost at 500K. Figured they could go higher.

This is a heavily North American console skewed forum, and its not on PS4.
May I recommend that the OP point out this "method" was used while active, and has since been patched out? This is a fun and illuminating blip-in-time snapshot from July 1 that the public has since lost access to. Kyle's active at the article's comment section itself if you wanna pose questions to him about the data.
Bandai Namco
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet - 183K (How in the hell? o_0)
Ni No Kuni 2 - 124K
Dragon Ball FighterZ - 444K
Tekken 7 - 541K
Little Witch Academia - 5.1K

Revelations 1 came out over 2 years before REmake HD, and has been bundled more often at lower tiers.

If you get GTAV outside Steam, you don't get it on Steam and it won't count in this number.
Because Take-Two had the amazing idea of making a new digital store that has only one game, there's probably many people account-sharing Rockstar Social Club accounts.
Did Pillars of Eternity 2 tank? The first game is at 1.275 mil. Divinity OS2 is at 1.69mil as a comparison.
AFAIK it's always been a free game, with the option to pay $5 to support the dev (and get some ugly cosmetics and access to ""Gold Servers"" lol) I paid $5 because I had a lot of fun with it for a bit a few years ago.
Still, I hope he's made a decent amount off of selling the Gold upgrades!
Yeap, that's the issue. It also hasn't hit any real sales yet (max was 20% I believe). You could see similar drop off between Trails in the Sky FC to SC.
I am still playing first TiTS, havent started SC and 3rd didnt even have a sale. And I dont wanna buy Cold Steel 1 before 2.
XSeeds discounts were also strange. During this summer sale TiTS3 was 25% off, Cold Steel 1 was 30% off.
