[ebevan91]

I still need to beat Hollow Knight but yeah, this game is gonna do NUMBERS on Saturday/Sunday.

 

[Loomy]

It's also on GamePass day 1 and every other console this time around. This is very impressive.

 

[Labadal]

I read that all services that it released on has had slowed down services. I'm not interested in the game, but good on the devs. Nothing wrong with rooting for smaller companies.

$20 * 530k = $10.6 Million

 

[64gigabyteram]

$20 * 530k = $10.6 Million

this is what those idiot AAAs pricing their games at 70/80+ don't get

We're celebrating the first anniversary of death in 2 days.

We're celebrating the first anniversary of death in 2 days.

it's already been a year..... fucking hell

 

[Hookshot]

And it's on all consoles. It will sell.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Wow. Would had never guessed HK was this popular. I know the first game sold a ton over 8 years and all platforms and bargain bin pricing. But didnt think it'd do this well. Congrats Team Cherry.

 

[ReyBrujo]

11m / 70 = 160k copies. Bar is much lower.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Bonkers numbers. The thirst was real

 

[Fbh]

 

[mckmas8808]

$20 * 530k = $10.6 Million

But why are you multiplying $20 by 530,000? That's odd.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Amazing what happens when you have a small team of devs making a game they're passionate about + understanding what their audience wants.

 

[mckmas8808]

Should a person play the first game before this one? Or is it okay to just play the 2nd one?

 

[Fbh]

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Dang! It's getting used more than that chick on onlyfans.

 

[Buggy Loop]

oh for sure

Watch the weekend numbers

For those on a 32:9 monitor, a fix was released already and seems to work fine when in game. https://github.com/skypulsestudios/silksong32-9-mod/releases/tag/main

Would need to add consoles as well. This is just Steam.

 

[StereoVsn]

I mean my preference is to always have reviews… but the game is pretty cheap and this is pretty funny.

Yeah, usually rule of thumb is 10 - 1 concurrent vs buyers. Of course it's launch week so it's a bit different. And again, this is only on Steam, there are sales on consoles as well.

What kind of penny rounding Superman 3 computer glitch are you talking about here? Also in Office Space.

 

[March Climber]

...Did you grab this from facebook?

People still use facebook?

since we have no CCU for consoles is hard to speculate on how well game is doing on those platforms.

 

[Idleyes]

I got it on the Switch 2 if that means anything.

 

[VGA-Games]

I personally will wait for Reviews

 

[Bonfires Down]

Man, I really don't get it. But there's a lot of things I don't get.

 

[StereoVsn]

Usually if you look at sales vs concurrent numbers the first is about 10x of the latter after things settle in couple weeks post launch.

But even during launch week sales numbers are always larger than concurrent ones. Multiplying concurrent by game price would only get you a fraction of actual revenue.

You have to understand these kind of numbers dont happen that much on Steam, especially for single player games (just so many games for people to chose from).

This is the problem on here when we get console only gamers judging this stuff. They see numbers for games like Eldern Ring, Wukong with its chinese contingent, Hogwarts etc, and they think those numbers are very common but you would be surprised just how many games, even AAA games, that are considered sales successes yet dont even hit 100k CCU on Steam, even 50k sometimes.

This numbers are amazing.

 

[CrimsonTide]

Man, I really don't get it. But there's a lot of things I don't get.

Like Dark Matter, we barely know ANYTHING about it, other than apparently, it's real.

 

[CrimsonTide]

The OG maxed out at 74k

Guess when it maxed out?

EARLIER TODAY lol
