Order of the Sinking Star has been out for a week now, so I decided to run some stats on Steam where it's easy.
The Witness was our previous game that was very successful when launched 10 years ago. Order has sold 45% more units on Steam in its first week than Witness did.
Order is 25% cheaper (Witness was $40, Order is $30 with some bundle discounts, and there's been some inflation), so you would expect more units at the lower price. But regardless, it looks at least as financially successful as the Witness was, maybe a little more eventually, depending on how the tail goes.
Thanks everyone for supporting the game, and I'm glad you are enjoying it!
Glad to see companies actually caring about the user experience for a change. @valvesoftware @EpicGames
This is the strangest flex I've ever seen from a billion dollar company. Some one turn off the internet and turn it back on again. Something is really off.
We vibe coded the Epic Games Launcher to be faster than the other guy.

I wanted to show how janky the AI slop is of the FilmCraft software.
I wanted to set the stage for how bad it is, and how little care there has actually been in implementing this tool, and most definitely the entire Craft suite too.
It's all AI slop that does not even work.

Each day since launch, Order of the Sinking Star has beaten the previous day's peak player count.
People like the game!
(This pattern is likely to stop after the weekend, but one can dream!)

It's a little esoteric, but: prior to the jet engine, the propwash from the engines of military planes would cause friction against the body of the plane and result in rashes like this. The actual rashes looked more like skin rashes do; this is obviously an artist's rendition.
I like the direction Xbox is going, but no agressive price changes to a product that has been out for 6 years is wild. They should discontinue the series S and make a refreshed series x in the sub $400. range. Exclusives mean nothing if your console cost $700

If LLMs really made workers more productive in a general way, as is claimed, and this had been going on for a couple of years, as is claimed, wouldn’t we expect to see a boost to the economy and an uptick in consumer sentiment, rather than like, historic lows?
Over the last couple of years this sight has become painfully stupid. I see so much bot content and low quality / dangerous Chinese "life hack" short form videos. It is not the public square of ideas. It's an echo chamber low effort thinking.
Halo 4 is has a pretty cool story and is a tight little Scifi shootrr. I give it a solid 7 for having a decent story and for being decent shooter. As a Halo game... Solid 4. It stripped the life out of the franchise and made Halo a generic Scifi shooter.
I tried Bazzite, and I have a hard time seeing it as an entry level linux distro for new users. Yes at first it's pretty easy, but eventually you will need the terminal, and the typical installation guides will not apply to them, and will frustrate the hell out of newbies.
If your answer to the question of "why buy greenland?" is "Why not?" there is no reason listen to your input on anything. Modern and innovative infustructure on mainland soil is some how not a priority for those who want Alaska 2.0 I guess.
