That's not nearly as much as it deserves, but at least it didn't bomb utterly. You also need to consider that it wasn't sold only on Steam (e.g. my physical copy activates on Uplay only).

As I said, all the physical copies are uplay-only. I don't think it's 100s of thousands, but probably more than 10Yeah, you can add another 8-10 copies to the figures to get uPlay sales

I can see certain pubs and sales aggregaters reacting like this:
The industry is in love with its mystique.
I am so happy/amazed at how well the Carpe Fulgur games have done. It must feel euphoric to have a game from 2007 you only expected to sell 10,000 copies do so incredibly well.
And thanks to everyone else who bought Ys, now I can finally play VI!
Preach.I'm not Russian but Space Rangers is one of the best games released in the last 10 years.
If you didn't know that, that's how noob GAF is in pc gaming terms.
I'm very, very pleased with this.

I'm confused
The Japanese pretty open to this stuff. Partially, yes since used game number sales are behind paywall but that's infinitely better than nothing. They could just released general figure of numbers for the hardware and top ten software. I mean, what can the public do with those numbers?
Eh, I imagine it's more to do with 2 coming out a couple of months after the first.
There are dozens of us. I haven't really had interest on playing it, and I found myself disliking some of the changes.
Good news, everyone. XPaw, creator of SteamDB just showed me how to get owners and players data for Dota 2 using official Valve API without any hacks.
In four days SteamSpy should show Dota 2 and TF2
Sweet, then we could get the Dota 2 player distribution across the globe right? I wonder how much Southeast Asian play it.
Honestly I haven't touched it myself for a while because other games keeps me busy. I haven't seen much change yet besides the pirates being total hax in early game.
Yes, but we'll have to wait around a week before this data will become more or less reliable
Dota 2 is huge, of course, 4 days sample might be good enough.

Pretty funny how neither you or arstechnica guy thought of that.
I'll definitely support this idea of making weakly thread. That way we could get more better discussion over sales number. As we can seen currently in this thread. there isn't really any discussion going on. User A post RPG sales, while user B post Indie sales. Too much to talk about in a single thread.
Also, maybe for the first week of a month we could aggregate the number of previous month? I think this will be particularly useful to see how a new game perform in their first month of release, since if we just take the number of top 10, it could dominated by super popular game like GTAV.
Sometimes the solution to a problem just lying right under our noses lol
Well we are gonna wait until after HoMM VII to see if we are gonna get another sequel. If they do make a sequel I think they can definitely solve a lot of the problems with the first game. I doubt it was an expensive game to make since they just reused assets from HoMM VI and used Unity, it is probably just a matter if they think it is worth their time to make another sequel.

iirc Valve doesn't distribute DotA 2 through steam in China. If you are still somehow able to see numbers for that region though that would be cool.
Risen 2 burned ALOT of people
If they did, Larian would make an announcement.
Hopefully they will reach that milestone after Summer Sale.
Valve still doesnt have a spring sale :/ When you think how little time it is between fall sale, Hallowenn sale and Winter Sale.....
Doesnt even have to be big like Summer or Winter, but SOMETHING Spring related should be done. Its not like they are starved for games.
There are no mentions of this key in docs
It should be called spring cleaning, and all the games that didn't get daily deals/user voted deals during the winter sale but wanted to should be put up instead of the usual suspects.

Survival games still printing $$$ for devs.

If every game sold on Steam was $5, based on this sales data how much has Steam earned Valve? Obviously it will be more but let's see what the bare minimum is.

That and South Korea. Perfect World and Nexon are publishing it.
Yeah, noticed this too. Insane dropoff. It's sad, because Risen 3 is really quite decent.

You know what's insane, if Valve took just 10% of every sale, and that list of games was $10 each, Valve's own revenue would be $15 million just off those 9 games based off the minimum of those sales figures.

On a phone atm, what are the numbers for titles like Raven's Cry and Ride to Hell: Retribution?
This data tells us how many games are registered on Steam, not which storefront they were bought from. Valve take no cut from Steam keys.
I think there's too much variation in the numbers to ever have a weekly top 10 be accurate.
For example, let's say you take the last week of CS:GO. From the 27th of March to the 3rd of April, total sales are -70,000.
Edit: Damn, doublepost.
Keeping up all the steam services and servers is not free though.
Right, he never said they'd have $15m profit, just that they'd have $15m revenue.
On a related note, obviously there's no way to do this, but I think it's a shame we can't get an average selling price or something like that. Would love to see how much revenue these games are actually generating, given all the sales/etc.
You are correct. I doubt the 10% would be enough to cover the cost.

Looking at the early access page really blows my mind. It's almost like most people would rather buy half finished products and wait for them to be finished.
I own Dayz and rust so I'm in this group of people
Sales data of games developed by companies based in Finland. I gathered it mostly as something to refer in future to know how the sales have developed. As a whole it seems that Steam has been pretty good for Finnish gaming industry.

Oh god, this number makes me so happy
Call of Juarez Gunslinger - Owners: 584,215 ± 41,565
And the numbers for Witcher 1/2, Call of Cthulhu, Aplha Protocol, Fallout New Vegas, Cryostasis nad Vampire Bloodlines and pretty good too
I was curious how the Dead Island series did, by Techland.
Dead Island - 2,631,286 ± 87,812
Dead Island Riptide - 996,875 ± 54,245
Escape Dead Island - 6,752 ± 5,400 (yikes)
Dying Light - 564,123 ± 40,845
Note that the original dead island was in a bundle and has been discounted quite a bit.
Dying light is the most surprising to me, it rated far better than both dead island games, and was far more polished (imo a better game.) But didn't break over 750k. Most are waiting for a sale I suppose. I'm also not saying it was a failure, I just expected it to be more popular with the zombie crowd.
I hope it's enough for Ubisoft to make a sequel.
At least Might and Magic X is not Steamworks, so that isn't the full PC LTD.
I think that a pretty good number for a zombie game on Steam
.. many people didn't even finished their Dead Island games, and other zombie games Just now I found out that Thief from last year sold around milion copies.. that's insane.. the worst of the Thief games, it just came and left and look now, what a big number they have
