Quoting: ryad1.3m by the end of September 2018. Compared to the competition, the sales figures should be at least five times higher in order to be evaluated as a success.
Thanks for the number, I only found an older one of 0.5 million. But your criterion for success is flawed. You don't need to sell as much as some competitor, but enough to make the endeavour worthwhile. I bet it was.

I know some of you don't like this quirky feature, but if you're using it and want to have that game...

"subterfuge"!?! This is an English lesson, today. :)

Anybody remember Balance of Power?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAre they? The other day a co-worker who has no involvement with Linux was snarking about the Epic store, saying it was a joke and had like 20 games.
Well, Metro exodus was quite the drama. I wouldn't be surprised more dev does the same.
Due to it being such a drama other developers will think thrice before doing the same.

Steam Controller?
Seriously? You call the Steam Controller a successful product? Common...
