Great news Larian. This is what i was hoping for, great applaud, hooray!

So the 1m in kickstarter was 1/4 of the Budget. Shame on ussss shameeeeeeeeee.

Part of the article:

Old-school fantasy role-playing game Divinity: Original Sin is Larian Studios' fastest-selling title ever, the developer has confirmed to Eurogamer.

The ｣29.99 game launched proper on 30th June after a stint as a Steam Early Access title, and has already shifted 160,000 copies. At the time of publication it was the top-selling game on Steam.

And it's already approaching profitability, Larian boss Swen Vincke told Eurogamer. Divinity: Original Sin cost around ?4m to make, following a successful Kickstarter that raised just under $1m.

More like 1/7th of the budget (1/6th at most), as it was just under $1 million USD and the cost estimate was $4 million Euros. After taking out fees and such, I estimated about $800k USD (conservative estimate), which - according to a currency converter - equates to almost $600k Euros.

Very good numbers indeed! top place in steam sales at launch wich is always great to see.

There was a steam sale tough, so probably a lot of people rushed to buy it at a discount and now it'll slow down.

BUT, i'm surely confident it will pick up realy fast again as soon as good reviews start to come around, those will definately be exciting times also
