After Steam offered to give it front page placement as an apology for having its launch kneecapped by a Steam bug, Planet Centauri once again missed out on getting eyes on it because of Valve.
Developer Permadeath made the indie space sandbox game over 10 years, and it had eventually amassed 138,000 wishlists on Steam – before facing a disastrous launch. A Steam bug made it so wishlist emails weren’t sent out, and Planet Centauri, in turn, sold only 581 copies in the first five days of its 1.0 launch.
Lechat also explained that Planet Centauri sold less on its big deal day than when the news of Steam’s wishlist glitch went viral; Planet Centauri sold about 5,000 copies as a part of the Daily Deal.
Still, Lechat adds that, even if it “seems like a small amount,” those 5,000 copies “will be a great help because it’s enough for us to survive for at least a year and allow us to finish our second game, which is currently in development.”
