Geneforge 4 Sales Figures

[Mar 22, 2010, 9:36 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Bottom Feeder: So Here's How Many Games I Sell is a post by Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb Software, who offers a frank discussion of their sales figures. He offers specifics on sales of Geneforge 4, saying this was "very much an average performer for us." He says the game earned $111,412 through last year, warning young developers: "Even the numbers you are about to see are difficult to attain." He offers further insights into the existence of an indie developer, offering a humorous perspective: "It's worthwhile at this point to go to the web site and look at the screenshots. Some of you might ask, 'Why would anyone pay money for a game that looks like that?' The answer is, 'I don't know, but they do'."

I'd be willing to bet that they'd triple their profits after being on Steam at $5 a piece for a year.

"Even the numbers you are about to see are difficult to attain."

Of course they are, when you charge such high prices for a game with graphics from the mid '80's. I've always been interested in the series, but the games are way over-priced in my opinion.
