Hopefully given the simple nature of the environments, we'll see them cranking out new challenges at a decent pace.
Yeah you'd think so. If they haven't started putting out at least some new content by the end of next week or so I'll start to worry.
I have interest in it still due to the fact that it has gotten some numbers right or pretty close to it, for games that are newly released and last but not the least that aside from the concurrent players and reviews but we dont have any official/unofficial metric to judge a game's success in detail but i guess since the types of threads that have usage of steamspy are not popular on Era due to many reasons and some are actually good ones, so i guess is should keep that for personal use only that pretty much is certain to me.
How the fuck is that Galyonkin guy still making money off Steam Spy?
It's one of the few battle royale games that I find genuinely fun...even if some of those team games are bullshit, lol.
People still subscribe for his numbers, so I guess people still want to believe they are right.
AFAIK It's a flat fee. PS+ is an enticing opportunity for multiplayer devs because just getting players in the door is a big part of the challenge for their game.
In this case though, I wouldn't be surprised if the game is driving PS+ subscriptions.
Totally deserves all the success.. I rarely play Multiplayer games these days and there is no day that goes by without playing Fall Guys.
Game's also sold on external sites and at a lower price than Steam. They're also pretty good with regional pricing. So I think it's a good amount less than 140m, but they definitely crossed that threshold, yeah.
If I had known this beforehand I would've bought some Devolver stock lol.
Amazing results for an amazing game. Congrats to Mediatonic

I mean, it absolutely has to be, right? I always viewed Hotline Miami as their most popular game, and there's no way that game put up these kinds of numbers.
It's most likely their biggest launch ever.
No other game from them has sold more than 7 million copies in 20 days.
Sony, MS & Tencent are probably having seperate meetings right now trying to find the right price to buy Mediatonic lol
Is it that good? 7 million copies moved levels of good?
I've watched some streams (when Tim got his first win) and it appears to be a game principally for children.

It's very fun. It isn't a game for children, it's a game designed to be for anyone to pick up and play.
Since it's Unity all they need to setup is a way to submit levels to them and that's about it.
More like "Tonic Games Group" (I had to look it up cause I thought Devolver owned Meditatonic)
No it's bad news, the publisher is sharing numbers because they are not good.
Come on now
That's.... rather a lot. Probably way more than they were expecting.
It's a fun little game, no doubt. I got it on PS+, so I (arguably) got it for free, and it's been entertaining. I probably won't put a huge amount of time into it. I hope they can keep it fresh enough to keep it going for a while.
Kudos to the devs, though.

Then I humbly suggest you are missing out based on wrong assumptions.
i believe he/she was asking if the game is that good for it to sell this many copies and not whether 7 million is good
I tend to associate that velocity of sales with 9/10-scoring, highly anticipated games, which this game has not struck me as in watching. I'm sure it's better playing than watching. I'll have to check it out further.
Yes
Yea. I thought people were playing it because of memes or something.
lol. You know they already added something new (jump final) after launch right? I'm not expecting something new untill Season 2, and i think that'll be a late september/ October thing
You probably shouldn't expect anything until season 2 starts, which is the beginning of October I think. There'll be a trailer for season 2 at Gamescom.
It's a bit more nuanced than that. Jump Showdown was in the beta and removed, if I remember correctly, by error. So it doesn't entirely count as 'new' content.
My feelings are just based off listening to people. If nothing significant changes for 40 days it will have missed its moment. It will still be a huge success for Mediatonic of course, but we're in the window now where it can be massive for a long time, or not. Get this right and the studio can be printing money for years. But they've got a lot of work to do.
To be fair, people have been saying this since before it even came out and it hasn't really slowed down yet. I didn't think it would take off the way it did either with the limited number of minigames but it proved me wrong. I think most people can recognize it's a pretty small studio that needs a bit of time to scale up to support the level of success they've earned.
True, shouldn't we also question the other site that uses similar algorithm then
We will see. Personally I think the gaming audience is pretty unforgiving when it comes to this kinda stuff. It's the new hotness right now but it is in danger of being a fad.
Could happen. I just hope they don't buy Devolver Digital.
In less than a month, this has sold more units than:
Borderlands 3
World War Z
Metro Exodus
Satisfactory
Control
The Outer Worlds
and Untitled Goose Game.
Combined, on EGS, from sales across the whole of 2019.

This is a huge success, and yeah I imagine they'll be getting these kinds of offers.
