Sales Statistics

[Greco]

Petri, Will you post any sales statistics before/after the game is launched? For example number of pre-orders, units sold, etc? Many would like to know such statistics since they constitute a measure of the the game's success, you success also, and most importantly the revived gender's success, which is important for us, the gamers, since it will considered also as an indicator on whether a sequel will be developed!

From this thread:

just out of curiosity - will you annouce sale numbers after release?

The sales numbers are unfortunately covered by NDAs.

[Jack Dandy]

Still, I'd like to hear after some time, if the sales were enough to keep them afloat, or better.

[petri]

Sure, it should be ok to comment on general level. We are not allowed to post exact sales data, however.

you're not allowed to say the sell numbers from your own game?
can you say who does not allow you to say this numbers?

[DJCrovley]

LoG is second in top sellers list on gog.com

Come on guys. It's their prerogative and choice. It is totally understandable. For various reasons. In my store I never discuss the deals I make for fear of "bad luck", only after I fulfill the delivery and cleared payment. I am sure when the time comes, all the boys from Almost Human they'll be happy to share the results of their bold move with their supporters. Now it's just too soon.

EDIT - I firmly believe in the near future we'll read about LoG's success on other sites , too.

It's a standard clause in pretty much every digital distribution agreement.

It's a standard clause in pretty much every digital distribution agreement.

And is there most likely due to american stock market laws. That's life for you.

i'm just asking, because i'm a developer myself and it does not really make sence to me. But if steam&co does not want the companys to tell the selling counts thats ok. It would be interesting why they do not want that. But i think we have to ask steam and not AH

anyway, looking forward to play the game on 11.4

Edit:
ok found a statment from valve
