Congratulations even if that doesn't tell us how many sales were made. I know that my son was quite happy seeing gameplay of it. Seems like a good game.

I can't wait until my kids come begging for it after they find some you tuber gushing about it...

I'll tell them I'll buy it for them after they complete Cuphead :)

I'm interested in this one. How good is the singleplayer experience? And how big is the building and crafting aspect on a range of Minecraft to Far Cry.

Closer to minecraft in terms of how important building and crafting is.

And if it's like Honey I Shrunk The Kids, then maybe we can avenge Anty and disembowel that fucking scorpion. ^^

I loved the movie when I was a child, I'll look up this game when it formally releases.

It's one of those movies that made us love ants but hate scorpions. That's why I hope we get to kill a scorpion in Grounded.

Perhaps that is the reason X1X (Scorpio) didn't manage to overcome X1 destiny.

A million people trying the game doesn't really mean much. Sales are the true metric of a game's success. But it does look like something cool that I definitely want to check out. I have higher hopes for this game than I do for any of MS's other properties!

You know MS is investing more into subscriptions rather than pure sales, this is like saying Netflix viewer counts aren’t impressive because it isn’t pure sales. Contrary to popular belief, not every game that hits GP does well. People have to be interested and positive word of mouth. Grounded was no1 on steam, had a huge viewing on twitch, this game was made by like 14 people lol
