It definitely wouldn't have.  The game looked shit by just watching videos.  But when you tried it out it was so fun. Everybody I know who bought it after the free month did so because people were telling them how amazing it was.  People who would never have bought it otherwise. 

Yes, that is true for the first few months of the game. But RL is still making sales charts today almost 2 years after launch and that's certainly not thanks to a few free weeks. Also considering that the core fan base is on PC.

It definitely is because of that.  Its called a knock on effect. The game went viral thanks to it and the result is still being seen today.  

 

Many people who got it free on ps4 even double dipped on pc. 

 

And the core fanbase is split between pc/ps4. Massive active hardcore player base on the ps4. Not just pc.
