If the discourse I'm seeing on dev/gaming twitter/bluesky is anything to go off of, It hasn't made anywhere near the hoped-for sales target.

$40,000 would pay off all debts for me and my wife, and allow us finally catch our breath. The monthly payments have been annihilating us for years, and neither of our careers have recovered since COVID.
Disco Elysium shattered me half a dozen times. Two moments in particular made me step away from my desk and go on a walk. It's the best-written game I've ever played.
Firewatch. Gorgeous, emotionally honest game that wrings you out.
