It was on EGS first and was given for free, we simply got no numbers of how many plays it, but i do think its still pretty low.
When more and more storefronts comes up, like EGS, windows store and steam, just checking steamcharts begin to matter less and less since we can never get the full picture of how many people play a game.

the show people of different colors
Also, White people came from Central Asia, not Europe.
Egyptians were not "white" though, they had fair skin and brown skin, similar to Jews, Greeks and some Italians. But they were their own race of people, they did not come from the Central Asian races where Europeans came from.
Egyptians depicted themselves with brownish skin and black hair.
Then there is the idea that if a mummy has 5-8% African DNA then "HE'S BLAKK!!!" Absolutely insane demented logic.
If there was anything genuine in you then you would research it yourself. But you don't want to know more, that much is clear. I have no obligation to quote anything to you because what would the point of that be?
You would just reject any factual evidence anyways as most people do. Soon I'll be able to walk around and tell people that the sky is blue and then I'll get someone like you coming up saying "dO yOu hAvE aNy eViDeNcE fOr tHaT??" Instead of just using your eyes and basic logic to receive and accept the evidence at hand.
You're just making stuff up now. There really aren't that many genetic studies, since DNA degrades rapidly and the ones that are there usually come to varying conclusion, however absolutely none to suggest most Egyptians, or even just their rulers, had blue eyes and blond hair.
This is funny, because this is exactly what you have been doing. I have never claimed Egyptians were black. Quite the contrary, I think most looked like modern Middle Easterners.
I have just stated Ramesses III was of an African haplogroup, since you seem so obsessed with DNA studies.
I study in a historical field and Ancient Egypt is pretty much my main interest. I have researched it, hence I know that most studies absolutely did not come to the conclusion you are claiming.
Funny thing, because if you used your eyes you would see that the majority of Egyptian self-depictions show them to have brownish skin.
Genetic studies have proven that the people of ancient Egypt were almost entirely of "Near Eastern" origins, and genetically very similar to the neighboring peoples to the northeast. They descended primarily from Neolithic era agriculturalist settlers from the northeast, and had only small levels of sub-saharan type ancestry on average (even as low as 0-1% actual black african), significantly less than the modern Egyptian population. Modern Egyptians have a much larger amount of sub-saharan ancestry than ancient Egyptians for reasons related to medieval and early modern slave trade. Notably, the maternal lineages of modern Egyptians are disproportionately sub-saharan compared to the ancient population.
The y-dna haplogroup branch of the Ramessides is today mostly associated with sub-saharan populations, but it's also closely related to other branches of E1 associated with Arabia, the Mediterranean region, and even Europe. The haplogroup branch probably originated in northeastern Africa about 40 THOUSAND YEARS AGO, and spread more to the south and west than to the north. The branch of the Ramessides actually has two known sub-branches, of which one (E-FT183172) has only been found in Arabia, while its brother branch E-M329 is also clearly Arabian. The specific sub-branch of the Ramessides hasn't been determined as far as I know, and it could be either of the two currently known sub-branches or a separate one. In any case, haplogroups only indicate a SINGLE ANCESTOR, NOT OVERALL ANCESTRY. For example, there are sub-saharan populations that mostly have Eurasian origin R1b lineages due to ancient "back migration" to Africa, but basically no other Eurasian ancestry overall. Even if Ramesses III really did have a sub-saharan ancestor perhaps thousands of years earlier, claiming that the haplogroup means he was "black" as some have done is completely absurd.
To put this simply: the modern human species originated in eastern Africa. Ramesses III had an ancestor who probably lived in eastern Africa about 40 thousand years ago. So did Adolf Hitler. It doesn't mean either of them are black people. It doesn't even mean their ancestors were black people as understood today.
Secondly, regarding the art.
The Egyptians had certain conservative artistic conventions that lasted for millennia, and their art was generally not very realistic in the sense of accurately depicting people's appearance. One artistic convention that was shared with for example the Greeks and partly other Mediterranean cultures was to usually depict men with suntanned "bronzed" skin and women often as untanned or pale. The bronzed skin was also a symbol of masculinity and activity, which is why the neighboring Libyan and Levantine men were pejoratively depicted as "pale" as as sign of "effeminacy" even though they would of course have been heavily suntanned in reality. There are also other examples of symbolic uses of "skin color" in Egyptian art. It's ignorant to claim that the red and brown colors used in Egyptian art are an accurate depiction of the people's natural skin color.

Regarding the historical artistic depictions of Ramesses III, he was in no way depicted as looking like a "black african". Here's my favorite depiction [www.gnosticwarrior.com]

I'm saying they weren't the white, blond, blue eyed people as OP and the person I was replying too are insinuating. Most you say there I fully agree with, maybe apart from if todays Egyptians have a larger amount of sub-saharan ancestry than the ancient ones, since that seems somewhat disputed and there seem to be decent arguments on either side. Besides the point that most DNA is pretty degraded and also practically only from the ruling class.
This I have less agreement with. A lot of points you make are true, but we also have to take into account that Egyptians did consistently use different skin colors for different populations and generally stuck with the brownish skin to differentiate themselves from the black Nubians and the more fair skinned Libyans. They clearly did want to depict actual skin colors in much of their art.
Not a "black African", which I repeat I am not arguing for, but clearly a fairly dark skin, somewhat consistent with the tone they chose for the game.
To the Egyptians they were only ever good as slaves, nothing else. When they took over Egypt in the iron age, Egypt collapsed and suffered brutally until the Assyrians came and finished all of Egypt off once and for all.
I personally love their culture though, the Nubians and the Kushites had a different kind of charm to them, something far more humble and honest about them. Probably connected to the fact that they were the first real Christians in Egypt when Christianity reached the region.
but in the 25th Dynasty it was a reverse situation: Egypt was a hundred years a province of Nubia

nubian archers always were highly apreciated in Egypt as mercenarians
even in medeival Egypt liked to hire sudanese (nubian) gunners as mercenarians
Anwar Sadat was a part of this tradition
