The game is great, I had a blast with it on the pc version, but those numbers are because it was free on PS+

I'm sure you can supply us with a list of games that were on PS+ on both the PS4 and PS3 that hit 4.5m. Clearly, it's jsut because it's free. I wonder if we'll see the creators of Styx telling us it was downloaded 4.5m times?

Pokémon Shuffle has over 5 million downloads, must be a great game right?

Used way more time to do so, has a bigger userbase (for the free platform), and this games has sold almost 500k on PC. And uses one of the biggest IPs in gaming.

And it's a lazy uninspired clone of Candy Crush filled with microtransactions. Yet it still convinced 5 million people. Because it's free. 500k people bought Rocket League with real money, good, but not amazing by any stretch of your imagination.

Given how big Candy Crush is, being a clone of that will give you a boost, when you are using such a big IP as Pokemon to kickstart it.

Now, do you think this game achieved this success just because it was free?
