i feel like you don't understand what "lump sum" means..

"a single payment made at a particular time, as opposed to a number of smaller payments or installments."

Do you have a different definition of what I thought I knew?

That sounds pretty low. :(

Most JRPGs, which are bigger than Visual Novels in Japan, yearn for such numbers.

It came out with no announcement or advertisement. Hopefully those 1 million players will notice the next installment and spread the word of mouth.

I remember the dev almost crying on Twitter to gamers buy the game because the terrible sales... way less than 100k.

Then GoG happened.

That's pretty good. It's definitely more than I was expecting.

good numbers

Good numbers for a niche game, hopefully it will sell more on PC and produce a sequel for both platforms.
