Game News Divinity: Original Sin has sold 160,000 copies, already approaching profitability

[LeStryfe79]

700k so far sounds about right.

 

[Sensuki]

I am pretty sure that BG2 is also an great RPG because of "Tales of the Sword Coast". Alot of the BG2 feeling could be smelled in the "TotSC" Expansion

Don't forget romances - the guy/girl on the werewolf isle.

 

[jdinatale]

Still no sales update from Larian? It's still consistently in the top 5, and I don't think I've ever seen it off the front page.

Maybe 750k+

 

[Volourn]

Million or bust.

Million or bust.

Definitely possible. This game has fully broken into mainstream. Here in Poland even tech/geek/gadget sites are covering it, and they only review maybe 20-30 games a year, the most high-profile ones usually.

90% of the comments below these articles are positive too.

And this is despite the fact there is no Polish translation available as of yet.

Nice to hear. The same will then probably be in the entire of north- south- center- east- europe. With poland as the leading geese or indicator for this countries. Naturally with the usual exceptions.

More like Germany. Much bigger market, and Larian games usually do the best there.

 

[Darkzone]

Yes Germany was always Larians turf, therefore it is a an indicator misplaced. And in the previous history Germany did not managed to sell Larian to other nations. I think that eh announcement for the translation in Russian and Polish did quite good this job.
While polish language is not much spoken beyond poland's borders, is russian wide spread as a known language. Naturally english is the modern lingua franca.
MicoSelva who does the translation and publication work for the polish language? Is it CD Projects or Larian intern?

Finally

I got mine yesterday, but came in wrong... I had $145 on the Codex donation, but got only a poster.

My donation to the codex would grant me a T-shirt, but I suppose it will come separately.

the KS box came complete though

 

[mindx2]

Still waiting for my game from KS and a game & t-shirt from the Codex drive!! I did receive the art book and signed poster in two separate mailings so you guys should get it... eventually.

Worse than the cloth map?

You mean cloth napkin.

CD Projekt.

 

[stony3k]

Well, it's finally out of the top ten on Steam

 

[Darkzone]

Then Panie norolimski, please tell to the CD Projekt:
Do roboty panowie. Bo Życie stygnie.

Divinity 2 was already localized, as are most games here, so this is nothing new.

CD Projekt (note: not CD Projekt RED) is doing the translation, which is probably the reason why it is not done yet.

OK. Just called them to communicate your message. The answer was: „Pocałuj się w dupę”
Anything else you'd like me to pass on?

I'd guess, the main reason is that Larian provided CDP with the files for localisation on the day of release. You know, because that's when Larian stopped working on them... for a while.

It has not stopped French, German and Russian translation from being done...

Granted, French and German could have been done in-house (no idea if it was), but Russian started in the same spot as Polish.

 

[norolim]

Yeah. You're right. In that case, CDP is just being CDP.

No wonder that they are not ready yet, if the only answer they could give is of this kind. But you can tell them that i'm not that flexible, and it would be a customer service if they would do it for me, but for that they have to wait in line.
Polish maybe not that important, if we look at the willingness of the polish to learn other 'western' languages. Perhaps they want to do all written text to voice acting.

 

[mindx2]

Well, well look what finally arrived today...

Unfortunately, it only contained the one game so I'm hoping to receive the second copy and t-shirt from the Codex drive soon.
