    On Steam, it is in the Bronze category. Considering it only released in october and people seem to have quite some issues with the game, I still consider that quite successful

      It’s in the same tier as Enshrouded, a crafting survival adventure indie game that doesn’t even come close to it in Budget, market and scale. Yeah, no, it wasn’t a success.

        In the new release, yes. Though by that metric, no game is a success as Manor Lord is platinum. Interestingly, Enshrouded is not in the top sellers, even though it is older by quite a few months.

        Comparing it only to its peers in the category to measure success is a pitfall. Manor Lord is in the highest, platinum, tier, and that is an RTS, colony sim made by a single dev. Does that make all other games in the platinum tier no success?

            Enshrouded is like 30 dollars, so half the price of Veilguard. With a fraction of the AAA marketing Budget.

              I meant cost the same to make which is the point here. Veilguard’s marketing budget alone could have generated dozens of Enshrouded games.
