How many zeros should be on the end of Durante's paycheck for this one?

Ha!

I heard his check had a lot of 0's, no other numbers though

Wonder how EA games are doing on Origin.

Battlefield and Dragon Age apparently sell well, but titles with less of a history on PC (say, Dead Space or Titanfall) probably aren't well off. They do get 100% of the revenue though, which beats the shit out of retail (29%).

Disappointing to see Super Meat Boy at only a bit under 2 mil. I bet a lot of those, if not the majority, were at Steam sale prices. Although that's a great number for an indie game, a game like SMB deserves waaaaay more sales.

Two guys made the game and they're both so rich off the sales they'll never need to work again if they don't want to--certainly not for decades, anyway, and one of them has already had another multi-hundred thousand selling game. Hard to imagine that is anything more than an unqualified, stratospheric, life-altering success

Regarding free weekends: We know for a fact that all free weekends before September 2014 no longer affect these numbers, since that was the last time Call of Duty: Ghosts Multiplayer was free. Since the singleplayer and multiplayer are returning identical ownership numbers, all trace of the free weekend is gone.

Compare that to Advanced Warfare, which has 1.5 million Multi owners but only 800K single player owners, so six weeks on from its last free weekend (19th February) there is still a large discrepancy in the numbers.

As the site's data gets deeper it'll be interesting to start calculating a metric of how long it takes for the free weekend effect to fall off. As long as we have some games like these CoDs with separated single and multi, we'll be able to get a good sense of it.

Apparently it's roughly five months for the effects to dry up.

Man of war is down to 4 million

And dota is currently at 47 Million (still growing, as steamspy is scrubbing more data and we only had 4 days of data)

 

[Glaurungr]

H1Z1 is over 1 million now.
