Sales aren’t everything and the success of a game can’t always be measured by the numbers. However, massive sales generally indicate a good game. We took our incredibly deep college research experience (Google rocks) and tried to find the best selling PC games of all time.

I don't think this list is accurate.

Seems the author agreed with you:

"Depending on where you find information, the numbers can varying quite a bit, as well as the ones that duke it out for the top 10 slots".

Wiki paints a vastly different picture https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

Even Gary's Mod etc is over 10m.

Then he shouldn't have wrote an article titled "The 10 Highest Selling PC Games of All Time".

INMATEofARKHAM2948d ago

It's not... The first and most obvious flaw is that at its highest point of popularity Wow had 12 million subscribers but the list says less than 7 million copies sold.

AcidDvl2948d ago

Lmao, didn't WOW had like 12 millions active players at one time?

And the best selling Sims was 2.

"Diablo 3 has just past 30 million in sales"
AUG 5, 2015

30 million. 2 years ago. That is more than every Uncharted game... Combined.
Just let that sink in for a minute.

and people think online enabled games don't curb piracy.

Razzer2948d ago

Sink in? Is this supposed to be surprising?

jacob_roachge2948d ago

Hey guys. The numbers were from Statista, which is much more accurate than Wikipedia. I don't make them up. These are the best selling boxed PC games of all time and the units that were sold worldwide as of January 2017. All of that was mentioned in the article. Thanks for checking it out.

xwabbit2948d ago (Edited 2948d ago )

I think you should of used steamspy(for at least steam only games), cs:go almost has 28 mil

Razzer2948d ago

They are only counting physical sales.

Razzer2948d ago

Retail sales? Of PC games? LOL

Amorist892948d ago

The number 1 spot genuinely surprised me, especially as it was cross platform.

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

Christopher7d ago

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast5d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic5d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee6d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator5d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast5d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.

Thanks, I needed that today.

Happy early April fools day 🤣

That one episode of Billy & Mandy where the very fabric of reality was destroyed when Mandy smiled. That's what'll happen when Valve finally counts to 3.

CrimsonWing6928d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Is this kinda like when it was supposed to be at the 2024 TGAs?

Xristo28d ago

No no no, 2010... you aint tricking me this time!
