Well, it seems that PC gaming is dead… NOT. Dean ‘Rocket’ Hall has revealed that the standalone version of DayZ has sold over one million copies in four weeks. This number exceeded Hall’s expectations, so it will be interesting to see whether Bohemia will speed up the game’s development or not.
As Dean Hall announced via his Twitter account:
“Well, 1 million copies in 4 weeks. So much for the death of PC Gaming.”
When a fan asked Hall about the sales number and whether he was impressed by it, this is what ‘Rocket’ had to say:
“way beyond. way, way beyond. this gives me mandate now to make all the crazy games I ever wanted!”
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Great! Now he has more than enough money to hire extra developers to get the game finished quicker. Or maybe he’ll just take a second Mt. Everest trip.
Hopefully they will expand their team to speed up the slow development .
Honestly, I really thought people were going to lose interest with the long development cycle. Apparently not.
I did. But that didn’t seem to stop anyone else.
This should pave the way for a second wave of DayZ clones, hooray.
but pc gaming is dead.
Right?
NOPE, more alive than ever, just not good enough for the likes of “re6 needs to sell 7 million so we turned it into action”
