Which is exactly my point.
How much hype was there for Stardew Valley before release? Not much.
Got 1m sales in a matter of a few weeks, on only one platform.

Question is, why isn't Shovel Knight anywhere close to 1m sales on PC. Isn't that strange? A game that is in pretty much everyone's top 10 indie games list and even received Game of the Year awards.

If you hadn't been following Stardew Valley then you wouldn't have known that people on PC had kept the hype for around 3 years, it had been in development for about 4 years total. just over a million sales in over a month is very good for a one man indie game, a lot more than the time it took for a 1.5 million shovel knight across multiple platforms so your idea of "release on evberything, keep nothing exclusive" falls flat, unless of course your speaking for consoles because the general gist I;m getting from this is that PC can't have anything exclusive to sell a few million but it's legit ok for consoles.

Why isn't shovel knight well over 1m on PS4/X1 for that matter?, you know with the suerbase being boasted and the latest gen and all that jazz.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
