Educated
Early 2018 sales update after the Steam Winter Sale has boosted sales across the board. LOTS of games going up one tier, as evidenced by the list below.
My prediction that Tyranny will surpass 300k before the end of the year came true, no doubt thanks to a healthy series of discounts since the release of the expansion. It sold around 125,000 copies in the second half of the year, which is not bad at all considering its overall performance. Crazy results for Larian Studios, as even their legacy titles are selling like hotcakes - in total, the studio easily sold more than half a million copies of their games during the latest sale alone. Very healthy increases for all the Beamdog titles as well, they were down to just 7 euros a piece during the Steam Sale; Planescape benefited the most from this, nearly doubling its total number of copies and selling as much as the Baldur's Gate titles during the last month.
What's up with Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok - huge increase in sales, must have been bundled somewhere I guess?
Torment: Tides of Numenera stuck forever in the middle of the 100k-200k tier
