Blasphemy I say!! But even if it´s the case, it´s still good. At least we see with all those other pre-orders, EU4 is safely in top10.
8th, hot on the heels of the Civ 5 DLC. Next 2 are indies, so we should cannonball past them!
I agree. Everyone who registered before January of 2000 should get a profit-share scheme.
Hey, I didn´t even have a PC back then.
But I´d like to know how good this sell. Hopefully we will know some day.
And the Demo makes the top games played list. Admittedly near the bottom, at roughly the same numbers as the great Euro Truck Simulator 2. Still impressive.
Still not higher than papers please, which looks like it was made with Paint. I see no cause for celebration
I'm quite sure you've never seen games made with Paint before. The style of Papers Please is a popular pixellated style, which you are very allowed to not like, but it does a disservice to the creator to call it 'made with Paint'. Also, the game itself, while I haven't played it, has an unique gameplay premesis (which again, you may or may not like) so I think it's well deserved it sells well. Of course, it shouldn't be selling better than EU4, so on that point I agree with you.
Trouble is that something called "Payday 2", which appears to be some kind of "shooting" game, is being released on the same day, and is already #1. So probably not the #1 spot. But I remain hopeful for a #2!
For a niche game without Total War's marketing buget, EU4 is doing well. No need to hate on indie games and/or more popular genre games.
Still 5th here, behind Payday 2, Total War: Rome 2, XCom Declassified and Saints Row 4. But another day of preorders, so who knows!
