Nice DEI game release, keep them coming
One more woke dev bankrupt

How come an unknow and almost no advertized single player indie game can't make the same number of a multi milllion, higly hype anticipated game?
What a mistery...

You folks have really strange fetish keep lingering here, let me say it.

You're creep.

Weird excuse considering a Chinese indie companies game is doing quite well rn, you're also ignoring the success of Many a small indie team.

I don't want to kink shame, but you know we can SEE you, right? Just get a room. I'm sure there's a nice love hotel somewhere that will accommodate all of you. This is weird and creepy.

Oh no you don't. This game was propped up good by game shows, showcases, and games journalists.

Wow. Breaking the 3 digits actually exceeded expectations.
Congratulations to the devs and everyone involved. I call it a success.

Edit: Oh no... you lied. The all time peak is 83 according to Steam Charts

I'm rooting for the 3 figures mark.

I knew of the chinese one years ago when the first teasers started to flow, it was impossible to never ear of it.
I knew of this game lately after someone mentioned it.
Not that great adv campaign.

And probably wasn't meant to make the same numbers as the other one?

You say the same things in every indie game that doesn't sell that well?
'cause it's starting to look like an obsession.

If that's your idea of fun, more power to you, but let me tell yout that's pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Google "Our adventurer guild". Made by one guy, a fraction of the budget of this game, no advertising whatsoever and beats this joke by a mile. Even a mediocre indie game made by one person has on average a couple hundred buyers, so cope harder.

Manor Lords was a one man project and got frontpaged.

Underrail was a two man project in a niche genre and still has far more attention than this.

Well, the amount of people who "don't care" seems pretty astonishing...

It still amaze me why you keep linger around a game you hate.

Why do you linger around to defend a game you don't even own?

[Anticitizen 1]

I ran some numbers on this and it's even more hilarious from a profitability perspective.

The game has 20 reviews which translates a maximum of 800 sales. At $30 USD, after taking out Steam's cut, this means roughly $17k in revenue.

The studio is based in Norway and has 15 employees (from their website). Median dev salary in Norway is 502k Krone which is roughly $48k USD per year. The last game they released before Dustborn was released in 2019 which means that this game cost about $3.6m just in salaries, not counting game assets, IT costs, rent, bills, etc.

$17k in revenue vs. A minimum cost of $3.6m. Yeah, these guys are going to close shop unless they get bailed out by the government.

Okay, then why do you linger around to complain about people lingering around about a game you don't even own?

I'm only here because the discussion is amusing.

And why you keep writing on a forum of a game you don't own and hate?
Who's the most patetic?

Isn't awfully childish obsessely complain about a game that you weren't interested from the start?

Move along and go play and comment on something you actually like.

Or is your life so much boring that you need to trash on what other people likes?

You. You can't even answer a simple question.
