I would like to know if there is any other indie indie ps+ game that reached that number. The number is easy to dismiss because of PS+ but I doubt that many other games have reached that mark.
And it's still 500k on PC, another mark most indies wish they would achieve. Wouldn't surprise me if the original didn't even have 100k downloads.

Most new games don't release on PS+ right from the bat though. This game also had a higher budget than your average indie game.

The game got a lot of media attention and worth of mouth because of the free promotion (and being good), that will have helped the PC version as well, no doubt.

It also helps that this is an online multiplayer game, that makes it more mainstream these days.


I love how "being good" is just a little parenthesis, even though it is the sole reason it's getting media attention, and why Sony picked it up as a PS+ title, and it's why it has so good word of mouth.

If you actually believe that then why aren't other great games for free on PS+?


Oh, there are tons of mediocre games on PS+, but not many (any?) bad ones afaik. So sure, I'll give you that. However the media attention... You're gonna say that's just because of PS+? And not because it's a great game? Once again it comes down to, do you believe it would've done as good as this if hadn't been a great game. I can easily admit it wouldn't have sold/been downloaded as much if it hadn't been on PS+, and I've never argued that it would have. I mean, is it that hard to just admit that it wouldn't have done this great if the game hadn't been great? I'm not even talking about for games to do great in general, cause tons of mediocre games sell tons, I'm just talking about this specific game. And don't answer something like "It wouldn't have had these numbers had it not been free" because I've never claimed otherwise. I've just claimed that the quality was also crucial to acheiving these numbers. Can you agree on that? That quality has been crucial to acheive this numbers, just like being on PS+ has been crucial?
