"That's a pleasant surprise; the common narrative is that Tyranny was an unmitigated financial disaster. \n  \nIf Tyranny managed to sell 560k over its lifespan (which is allegedly Deadfire's break even number) despite no marketing and no built-in following, then there's no reason to assume that Deadfire won't finish a modest success given the *partial* sales numbers we've seen from its first two months alone. Again, those numbers don't include GoG, backers, or the upcoming console sales that neither PoE1 or Tyranny benefitted from. \n  \nI think it's interesting that many (not all) of the people who are relentlessly adamant that Deadfire is underperforming also don't seem to be big fans of the game in the first place. Since none of us know what Obsidian's internal targets are and none of us are experts on the revenue side of the gaming industry, we should probably take any armchair claims of failure or success with a grain of salt. At the very least, people should consider searching the topic first before posting ill-informed comments on the state of the IP while having only a fraction of the information necessary to do so. \n"
