In terms of commercial success, early access to new shooter Wardogs couldn’t be better. The craze initially caused server crashes, but this was also caused by the game selling millions of copies.
The early access version of the highly anticipated shooter Wardogs is definitely going to have some issues due to the onslaught of players, but the development team still considers it to be an unqualified success, especially commercially. Reason: Early versions of the game sold millions of copies.
As now announced, the shooter has taken Steam by storm, selling a whopping 2 million copies on the popular PC platform within a week. As a result, the game has been topping the Steam charts and looks to be doing very well in terms of player numbers.
2 million copies sold. Thank you all. Beyond humility. We made a game that you want to play with your friends. Watching you play with your people is the best. https://t.co/HDBlLXzUzs
