The Seasons are taking too long from one to another, by the time of the next one comes the game's activity will be even lower. Doesn't matter what new content they bring, most players already moved on. A few will come back on the update for a few days to try out what's new then that's it.

Thanks!
I'm eagerly awaiting this roadmap Cold Iron are teasing. I think we'll be able to gauge from that how successful it's been as well, depending on how substantial the content is.

" Several games were successfully launched during the quarter: Aliens: Fireteam Elite, which is distributed by Focus Home Interactive in Europe and several territories in Asia, and Insurgency: Sandstorm on PlayStation4 and XboxOne, which already sold close to half a million units; both games are performing well."

I read the "half a million" units as applicable to Insurgency - but it's nice to hear the publisher thinks it has performed well.
Yeah, I read this way too.

But it's great for the future of Alien video games to hear they consider it performing well so far. Nice find Seattle! Since Focus is a public traded company, we can expect a public statement every quarter, so hopefully we'll get more A:FTE info in their next statement.
I do think a half a million units is a good benchmark for a non AAA game. I felt that way with Illfonic's P:HG too. Of course, it also comes down to how much these companies actually spend cumulatively against how much they sold, but since we usually never see those numbers, I personally run with the 500k success line.

Those physical sales #1 and #2 rankings sound nice, but I'm not sure how to read into them to be honest. They're competing with some games a few years shy of a decade old. I wish these charts also reflected digital sales.

Steam alone i had seen 10,000 players of the game online on launch day. Right now it reads 7,174 in-game.
