"It took 3 months to hit 500k"
So what you're telling me here is that it only hit 500k when Epic did that 10 USD off mega sale ?
Holy shit.. Steam sold about 1/3 on EGS copies in about 1 month. And it was EGSxclusive for about 13 months.
I think I'm going to pass. I'd like to own a copy of Planetfall (Age of Wonders III was pretty good, but I kinda hate fantasy games...), but I don't think it's worth 12$!
Just looked at my regional top seller on steam. Take a quick look.
The two top sellers are:
1.) PlayStation Game
2.) Xbox Game
Both not discounted, during the Steam Summer Sale.

Phew. MMOs are not my thing.
I wonder if Supraland DLC will come to Humble.

Pretty sure it hit 500k before the mega sale actually. Epic has done 3 mega sales with $10 coupons since it hit 500k and only managed to scoop up 400k extra copies.
Metal Unit seems to be the most interesting game for me. Rest of them I have no interest. The bundle will most probably a skip for me
So after those 3 months and 500k sales the sales decreased insanely.
Command &Conquer is now discounted that's it's non-discount period is over.
Are those like, real, played by a human being copies on EGS? That's kinda higher than I expected tbh. I though 500k or something.
Epic launched its first mega sale on May 16th, 2019.

Coffee Stain announced the 500k sales milestone on June 7th, 2019.

Satisfactory sold over 500,000 copies on the Epic Store, says developer
After weeks of joking about low sales, Coffee Stain's community manager is setting the record straight.

It was a really popular youtuber game back when it first launched so it probably attracted the meme game audience.
I got the impression that it just sold well on word of mouth. Also seems a bit on the complicated and expensive side to fall into that category.
Satisfactory should be one of the best selling games on EGS, among with World War Z, Borderlands 3 and Metro Exodus.
The fact that the Steam version sold about 1/3 of the EGS sales in 1 month with a 10% sale after having been only on EGS for 13 months with multiple 10% sales and coupons dragging the price even more, is mighty impressive for Steam imo.
I know Corden does not have the best reputation but....
Yet another one hinting at more Sony games on PC.

I wouldn’t worry about that too much. There are giant Minecraft mod packs that are significantly more complicated than Satisfactory and are insanely popular with that audience. Teens love this type of stuff.
I agree with you there. Just intially skeptic of the numbers, but the price and the several mega sales and coupons make the number make much more sense now that it's been explained. With all those advantages, it really isn't that impressive for one of the most high profile games.
People don't need to like him, but he is far from the only one hinting that more Playstation exclusives will come to PC.
Horizon could be a New Dawn for Sony and PC gaming.

After playing games, Steam market is the second best feature of Steam.
(also: EU, pls don't ban lootboxes.)

How did you buy Poly Island for 0.07 €? By stacking bundle discounts?
Other than that, that is an impressive haul. Do you finance this with CS:GO tournament loot-boxes?
Steam Store
Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.
This originally had -94% (or there about) stacking discount, now it's just 54%)
Well that discount on C&C got me. With that and Monster Train, I cleared the hurdle to buy something this sale. Used the coupon and now I'm done.
Not a bad use for my $14ish dollars in steam credit

I really dislike this narrative of wanting to justify the increase in prices because the budgets have gone through the roof, as if were our responsibility to keep up with company spending. Not to mention how AAA companies treat their employees like shit and that they already have a shit ton of cash via microtransactions.
For me it is like asking a higher price for a movie ticket because it had a larger budget or it is ‘pushing’ the medium.

guess we'll have to wait Until Dawn to find out
I know you were all waiting for this picture to be posted, do not worry, I always deliver ;D
I'm tempted to grab Horizon just to show support for the regional pricing even though I doubt my rig can run it nicely.
I just watched the trailer showing the PC features for HZD and it seems to be a very competent version. 
Let's hope the eventual BB port also gets all that love.

Hmm HZD seems to be DX12 only. Also needs 100GB of disk space.

Read about this game in PC Gamer mag the other day and forgot to post about it.
Very atmospheric, very barebones, very much a work in progress with the potential to be awesome.
For £4 i'll give it a go.

Not necessarily my cup of tea but I see the logic here. It runs on Decima after all.guess we'll have to wait Until Dawn to find out
