Still doesn't make sense because it's only #10 on Steam sales charts currently and only 3000 people are playing it at this moment. It might have sold pretty well, but 400k+ retail?! Hell no lol

i would think many who are interested in these kind of games don't even know what steam is and it is cheaper at retail as on steam so why should someone buy it on steam? the game is still on place 3 and in front of black ops 2 on german amazon and it's in the charts for 84 days now

But only half comes from Germany and 3/4ths from Europe. Who the hell is buying it outside of those places? :o

I'm just wondering if it only works with steam or if it can be played without it? If if can, then 3k simultaneous players on Steam is not representative of all the people playing, but otherwise it is.

405,634 - 216,338 = 189,296.

switzerland and austria have 20% of germany's population so 216,338*0,2 = 43,267 but i think the rate of sales will be higher in austria and switzerland as in germany, the games is developed in switzerland.

189,296 - let's say 50k is ~140k

so 140k rest with maybe some sales in poland or so and i just checked italian amazon and it's also selling good there!

but 80k are for regions outside of europe, maybe it got some sales in south america or australia or something^^
