Great sales. 40$ for an indie puzzler was a gamble, but it seems that it payed off.

 

$40US is alot for an Indie game. I have gotten AAA games brand new(physical) for about the same on launch day. But I would much rather pay $40 for The Witness than another COD/AC/Destiny/Battlefield etc.

 

Totally agree. Lets hope that this will become the norm, and more indies will be able to afford this, and wont have to settle for sub 5$ price jut to be sure that their games sell. Not many indie games desevre 40$, but I have seen plenty weeks after release at 1$, that would have deserved even 20$. If the quality is there Im ready to pay the full price no matter if it is singleplayer only, or if it has sub-standard presentation.

Note: TW looks great, I am talking in general.
