http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/permalink/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20100514006019&newsLang=en

You know a gaming platform is in amazing health when small, indie, hardcore games make gigantic sales!!

It will definitely reach 1 million now.

Wow, that is far lower than I had expected. I would have thought they were closing in something like 1.5 million has much chatter as there has been about the game.

That is probably maybe $5 milllion to the developer, which is a nice profit given the development cost, but that won't go very far towards funding the MMO like they hoped.



Its a great game. A bit lite on things, but overall a great game. And for that price its a freaking steal.

Are you serious? It's a nice little Diablo clone, and a debut game from a start up developer that was made within a year. Mass Effect 2 it is not.

There really are some deluded people on this site, completely blinded by numbers and with absolutely no insight as to what they actually mean. I think we can take it as read that Torchlight turned a very nice profit on its initial investment, and as such is head and shoulders above a lot of games over the last few years.



hmm I never bought it maybe I should. I am playing Titan Quest LAN at the moment so I will probably burnt out on the genre lol.

I've never played it.

Is it actually any good? Or should I just wait for Diablo 3?

It's pretty damn good :D. and for the price of 20 bucks you can't go wrong. You can play for hours



its actually $10 on steam atm I think.

I'm dling the demo, if I like it I'll buy it.



500,000 +1 ;)



yes!! I absolutely love this game. It's clearly not perfect, but great for an indie game.
