[QUOTE="drinkerofjuice"][QUOTE="cain006"]No it's not, 1 million sales is very impressive. Especially given the budget.

A million sales in nearly seven years isn't impressive in the slightest.

It's extremely good for Garry considering he has reaped a huge amount of the money from the sales. A million is very good for any indie game.

Good for the creator? Definitely. Made something cheap and profited greatly. But given the timeframe, it's still unimpressive, by any standard, which is what I'm trying to say.

 From Garry: I know this isn't exactly Minecraft but this is a pretty big deal for me considering this all started off as a tiny tiny modification about 6 years ago. This is more than I could have ever expected or wished for!

[QUOTE="dom2000"]Pretty dissapointing i will agree, considering alot of these sales are at a very low price with a very poor profit this really isnt so impressive for one of the biggest indie games....considering it was pretty regularly in the top 10 best sellers over the past few years it just goes to show you theres not as many purchases on steam as one might think!Mystic-G
I highly doubt the indie dev is crying about it. Because of Steam, they sold godly amount more copies than they would have otherwise. The developer still soaks in a large profit margin with each steam sale.

Oh i doubt he is! And if for some reason he was he could easily wipe the tears away with all that money he as earned! Its just disappointing as i would say garrys mod would easy be one of the biggest indie titles, if it has just sold 1 million it would mean the likes of anmesia would be no where near that number!

Very impressive /sarcasmRR360DD
Niche mod turned independent release, that is a tool more rather than a game, with zero marketing made by one person. Ah comments like this are great
