1.2 million units sold in under 3 weeks

Im friends with a guy who work on Avalanche studios in sweden. He knows a girl who works at Larian who said when he asked that the game have sold between 1.2 and 1.3 million units 800 000+ on steam and over 400 000 on gog..

Only 0.7 left to eclipse BG2. This game sold better on 1 format in 3 weeks than Alien Isolation first 3 weeks which made some profit and that was a AAA game made by 100+ people.

Good on Larian. I love that they can self publish their games and still get 1 million+ sales.

Im happy Larian found sucess with this game. See game industry? This is proof that you dont have to screw people over to make money. You can make money by making a good product *shakes fist*.

Larian doesn't need to cater to consoles.

Consoles only make games worse, not better.

You just have to make a good game on PC and you'll do great. So many developers have sold their soul to the console crowd. Making stupidly-easy, overly-simplified, unfinished garbage for consoles.

I'd rather play more games like D.O.S II than that Witcher III console crap, with that god-awful third person camera and horrible combat.

Errrr, DOS2 is actually made as a console game as much as a PC title. Controller works perfectly fine in DOS 2.

Also, Witcher is a PC series, and Witcher 1 already had all those things you're complaining about. Has nothing to do with what platform it's on.

Anyway, OP I don't really believe those numbers. Way too optimistic for GoG, Steam is a little on the high side. My guess is 700k Steam, 200k GoG, total at 900k, which is great. Because of great press it's going to have long legs, 1.5m at the end of the year, maybe even 2 if there's a sale.
