Anno 2070: Sales figures from Germany

German magazine Gamestrend.de now published the official GfK-numbers (compareable to the NPD Charts) of Anno 2070, the latest entry in the popular franchise. The sales figures aren't that positive right now: The magazin says that Anno 2070 has sold about 64.000 Retail-Units in two weeks, which is not that much for a game which cost a lot of million Dollars.

Great news for the franchise and hopefully they make a sequel..

Game's actually pretty good if you have a recent/powerful PC.

But it is heavily objective based which is almost a deal killer. And it still feels like Anno, not a free-for-all sandbox yet like Firaxis games.

Every industry has these issues

Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
