Dwarf Fortress hits another big sales milestone.
less than a month after it debuted on the storefront—which, for the record, happened more than 16 years after its initial standalone release—earning its two-man development team more than $7.2 million in revenue. And it's still shifting units: Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams told us during a GDC chat that the total figure has now climbed to roughly 630,000 copies sold on Steam.
It's worth noting that Dwarf Fortress put up those numbers without any major price cuts: It's 10% off in the, and had the same discount over the final week of February, and has otherwise been at its not-inconsiderable regular price of $30/£25/€30. And even though sales have predictably slowed since launch, Adams expects that it's going to continue selling long into the future.
Adams acknowledged that the runaway success of Dwarf Fortress, and the wealth and fame it's brought to him and his brother Zach, has been"strange."
