    Damn, surprised Hotline Miami made that little. It feels like it’s still a fairly well known indie title. Not Stardew Valley big, but large enough that people still refer to it occasionally.

      i also wonder if “lifetime revenue” is just “here’s what we, devolver, made on this title” because i notice the third party titles that aren’t cult of lamb are trending lower on the board, and i assume that’s because devolver as just the publisher has to give more of the money to the studio that developed the game

      Sadly, legacy doesn’t always mean profit. It made enough of a splash with it’s style to get into the zeitgeist but not people’s wallets.
