      Very fun multiplayer game. My son and I love it. I’m surprised of the sales count too though. I didn’t expect it to be that high.

      From what I interpret off the Wikipedia page, it had sold single digit millions by COVID and then went viral in China during COVID and that’s how it ended up selling tens of millions more

        Fascinating!

        I’d be interested in seeing a list that was adjusted for the “number of gamers” at the time. A game selling a million copies today isn’t the same level of accomplishment as selling a million copies in 1985 when there was a smaller global market.
