[Permanently A]

GOTY without question

 

[Qassim]

How the fuck has it gone from 1m -> 1.3m in such a short period of time?! This game is a monster.

 

[CountAntonius]

The power of twitch.

 

[Hektor]

WHEN WILL IT STOP

 

[Ikuu]

Won't really be a success until it comes to PS4.

 

[Blablurn]

incredible success

 

[Yoshichan]

New big update helped it that extra bit.

 

[Par Score]

Absolutely bonkers.

What a game.

 

[BigDes]

So many confused aunts

 

[PunishedOkabe]

Flavour of the moth

 

[MatthewMungall]

Must. Build. PC. Soon.

Game looks like a blast from the streams I've seen of it, just need to get round to building a PC capable of running it haha!

 

[Zombine]

How long until Valve tries to buy this/make their own version?

 

[rucury]

Geez... This thing snowballed out of control. I'm happy for the devs, I guess. I tried playing it solo but didn't really enjoy it much, mostly just a very nerve wracking experience. I'd like to give it another shot tho so I'll probably hop into the GAF crew for the game soon.

 

[Venfayth]

but it's so ugly

and overwhelmingly stagnant

 

[BigDes]

How long until Valve tries to buy this/make their own version?

I don't think they need to

They've already made around 100 million dollars from this game in revenue

Plus they take a cut of every cosmetic item sold on the workshop.

 

[RedZaraki]

ok

 

[Coin Return]

This is awesome. Really excited for the Xbox version.

 

[JDB]

Maximum stagnation.

Valve will announce DOTA Battle Royale: The Card Game.

 

[CaptainClaw]

1.1 million Halo 3 (Xb360)

Damn for a single Console game Halo 3 was doing bits back in 07.

Congrats to PUBG

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

Wow, I figured we would at least have to wait until November.

 

[Lifeline]

PUBG is a beast.

 

[Abilidebob]

Ugh when will threads about the Goat Simulator of shooters end? Don't you guys know that it's a fad twitch meme game? And that 50% of players are afk bots?

 

[ashecitism]

How long until Valve tries to buy this/make their own version?

Their card game still isn't out yet, so next decade.

 

[theaffection]

So when are the clones for this puppy coming in? Or have they already started? New genre?

 

[BigDes]

Indeed, and those that aren't bots are usually on their third or fourth steam account and copy of the game because the devs banned them for using the car horn.

 

[ponpo]

Single maps confirmed the key to success

Spoiler

assuming both games still have single maps. I think pubg is getting more

 

[hanspampel]

How long until Valve tries to buy this/make their own version?

Tencent, Microsoft and Valve, all should buy this according to some or another GAF user
I think the game should be fine and Bluehole is fine. They don't need to be bought out and they don't want to be bought out

 

[valkillmore]

I have the money for this in my PayPal account. I just don't have the time.

 

[yuraya]

How long until Valve tries to buy this/make their own version?

They are probably already working on something like it.

It would actually be a great way to to introduce a new version of Source since Half-Life is pretty much dead.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I think I'll go hop on and play a match and contribute to that number.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I almost want to buy the thing to see what's about and why is so popular.

 

[Demoskinos]

GOTY without question

Nah.

 

[Tecnniqe]

B-but PC gaming was dead.

How can this be!!??!

 

[Stimpack]

Same. I've watched giant bomb play it, but I really struggle to see the magic behind it.

No one has said that since like 2006 dude. Like I don't understand what the point your post was.

 

[GHG]

Everyone pirated it and its full of cheats. Not sure I'd call it a success.

Are you being sarcastic?

 

[The Hermit]

Especially surprising considering the name

 

[Ghostmaster]

The numbers will probably keep on growing, there is nothing on PC that could compete with it right now (poor Lawbreakers).

Not until Destiny 2/ COD/ Battlefront 2 wombo combo in late October/ November.

 

[Djungelfrukt]

holy shit at that halo 3 number though.

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Game is still addicting for me, ended up playing ~4 hours last night nonstop.

 

[theaffection]

.

 

[LegoArmo]

It's crazy I've never even heard of Crossfire and Unturned

 

[Tecnniqe]

Everyone pirated it and its full of cheats. Not sure I'd call it a success.

 

[Sad Affleck]

This game is a triumph for multiple reasons and multiple people. A multiplayer shooter from a smaller virtually unknown studio, a game with a very weird non-franchise name, a game with no massive marketing campaign has managed to destroy other huge multiplayer titles and post some shocking concurrent player numbers.

It's also a triumph for the developer, Valve and PC gaming. For the developer it's self-explanatory, for Valve it's a huge win to have the current gaming sensation on Steam and for PC gaming it brought it a lot of new gamers to the platform. Amazing.

ok

 

[Gaspard]

I think he's forreal guiz

Wow I thought it would pass this around Halloween but the explosion of this game is awe inspiring.
