where were you when Alan Wake was pirated over a million times? Or Mafia 2 when it was pirated over 3.5 million times?

Huh? You just pulled those numbers from your dark ring, didn't you?

Arrowhead Game Studios' indie hit Magicka has reached over 200,000 units sold in just over two weeks since release, and publisher Paradox Interactive says it is "really happy" with the title's performance.

The co-op magic-based action game debuted on a range of digital platforms on January 25, and sold 30,000 units in its first 24 hours; in the 17 days since release, the game has sold more than six times that figure.

Paradox's Mattias Lilja, in an interview with Big Download, spoke out on the game's success. "Magicka is doing very well, we are really happy with it. It's hard to compare Magicka to most other Paradox titles, though, mostly because of its genre ... [but] so far Magicka is holding its own or even beating them," he said.

He also addressed the game's thorough post-release support, saying that despite technical restrictions, the team still hopes to smooth out Magicka's remaining bugs.

"[We are] close, but not there yet. The basic tech design of Magicka sets some limits to what we can realistically do, but there's still stuff we can and definitely will improve upon."

Lilja also said Paradox has plans for both paid and free DLC for the title, though no additional details have been announced.

Only on PC can a game that sells "only" 30k in the first day stay on route to be a million seller.

Reported.

Is this something to be proud of in america?

Yep. We all have a big celebration over here every time Carl gets banned.

Now i was wondering if it makes someone proud because they denouced someone else ?

hence why the PC get an console port and activison not making any PC games, i am also to point out that 1 million of that was 360 copies 

Was interested in it but my PC is 3 yrs old and my gfx card is the one in the minimum requirements, so I couldn't even play the demo full screen at my monitor's native resolution. Maybe they can optimise a bit still, who knows.

Also if there is one thing that completely irritates me in PC games is whoever's idiocy of hardcoding mouse buttons instead using the system's primary/secondary arrangement. And this game does it. So I either have to move my mouse to the right side, or feel completely confused half the time because mouse buttons are swapped.
