The PC ports are pretty great too.

Maybe twitter will add some rules against port begging with all the strain gaf is putting on their servers.

There is a gaffer using the same avatar, yes, but I couldn't tell if he's the same person.
EDIT: Aaaand I'm late, apparently.
The key point here is that $1 got all the people who weren't going to buy it in the first place. Which is the reason many people have 300+ games with half of them not even launched 
Don't see why that abrasion guy is surprised for $1. I'm sure when you average a game that's given out for PS+ the amount they earn is comparable if not even less.

kinda feel bad for not buying this for a dollar now
I can't think of many games like Waking Mars.
I'd look at a gameplay video. It's a good time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e57s6K53Meg

Wow. It's like Solar Jetman on NES
Safe to assume this matching the income for the PC port and not all platforms right?
Gabe gave a talk about the deep discounts years ago where 90% off increased revenue over 1000%. He was probably basing that on weekly/monthly but it is still crazy when you are selling something with near zero marginal cost for all parties.

I estimate 75% of the posts on Facebook and Twitter are of that variety. I wish we could port PixelJunk to everything, but it's tough with our team size.
Btw, if you missed the sale on Steam, it might be on Amazon for the same price from the 1st. It's sort of a roulette, but I'm crossing my fingers.
Won a community vote.
Is it frantic or chill, or somewhere in between? I'm kind of inept at twin stick shooters unless I can use WASD + mouse as a crutch.
As far as Monsters and Eden -- I'm kind of jaded when it comes to tower defense games in general. I liked Eden a lot though, until this level where the gravity or wind or something kept changing direction. Drove me nuts.

Picked it up as well.
Happy for them, though I may never play the game. lol

It's a lot easier than that! Christ, that game was impossible.
Shooter's a lot less physics-y, if that makes sense. Your ship basically goes wherever you want without having to futz around with thrusters and gravity. It's almost laid-back.
Chill at first, more frantic as you progress towards the later levels, it's a really nice game. I had no problems playing it on PS3, it's really not something you want to play with a keyboard, ship placement and movement are key.

Very.
I knew I recognize his avatar somewhere.
This is a known phenomenon. Happens pretty often with low-price Steam sales.
Putting your game on sale for 1/4 the price might get you 12 or 16 times the sales, so you're making a lot more gross income than if you're selling the game full price. And since it's a digital product, not physical, you're not losing anything by selling it that low.

This is true
Who the hell can keep up with all these sales.
