How many copies of WitE were sold in the first 24 hours? (If it's not too confidential)

I bet it's some kind of record!

Realistically, diablo is right. Even those these games get the most forum activity, they probably don't sell nearly as much as some of more easier to-get-into games.

This isn't World of Warcraft and won't have 12 million subscribers.

They set that record for the number of users wanting to see HOW MUCH IT COST! I would wager they hardly sold an inkling of the number of users 20001+ that were online at one time waiting to see the price.

We got it diablo1,we got in the various threads too numerous to mention where you have posted. You think the game is too expensive,we got the message. Myself and most likely 1,000+ others think differently and have bought the game.

But, alas you can't prove that and so it's just an opinion and not reality.

Makes my 100 sales prediction just as valid. You can't win this one so might as well stop tryin.

AAAbsolutely agree Neal_MLC. His loss. All I know Matrix has sold me more games than any other game maker. Hey, I play World of War Craft with my two adult sons. Civ V has me enthralled. Love GTA. But I own nearly every game Matrix has sold. They have a loyal following, no doubt.

But I still think their biggest selling, and most fantastic game was "Democracy". It must be. I still remember how I felt when I bought and played for 3 minutes.

I didn't lose anything in fact I still have the $80/$90 in my pocket so I am richer than any of you and I'll be getting lots of games for that $80 while you play your puny ONE. (goes off to buy LOTS of games from Steam, Gamersgate, D2D and GOG)

Seriously, I paid a lot of money for WITP-AE but it is nothing to the hundreds of hours of gaming that I have enjoyed for the past year. Gonna buy this one but not before I find a good lawyer because I suspect my wife is going to leave me. And, it is not beause of that hooker thing either......

Two of my WiTp-AE pbem partners have already purchased the game,a friend of mine and his brother played around with it a few hrs ago here at my house. My friend so enjoyed building soviet attachment units I think I found a Soviet game partner there. His brother got real creative and was already talking about borrowing his wife's Ipad so he can read/reference the rules on that while the game is up on the computer screen. So yea,I also know 5 people including myself who have bought or are about to buy the game. But that and $1.80 will buy a large cup of coffee.

Is that so diablo1? Please let me know how many good, or even decent games you think your gonna get for eighty bucks. Sure, you can go to those places and scrape the bottom of the barrel, coming up with older games. Your not richer than any of us, that's a matter of an individuals opinion. Our perspective, which seems to be the majority, is that the price is just right. And we are thrilled with the product we are playing. A person gets what they pay for. If Matrix charged less than $70 for this monster I would have wondered about quality, and their collective sanity.

BTW, what is the most you have ever paid for any game? Console or computer? I would just like to know, as I bet others would.

I am already spending 2h a day on WITPAE and the support is so fantastic on that game that I feel guilty that I have only had to pay for the game once.

I do not even have the foggiest what the market size is for this type of game. I can understand companies are a little reticent to let such information into the public domain (presumably for competitive reasons), but I would be interested to know how many other people are out there that have this game (having said that, I don't have it yet, will be in the New Year when hopefully some funds become available to do so, but the map looks stunning).
