$$ and games sold counter?

from Sins Forums
Okay, i know its a somewhat stupid and shallow/materialistic idea..
But i would really love it if the old pre-order countdown at the top was replaced with some sort of $$ counter (or units sold), showing in real time as ppls pre-orders and purchases get processed. lol! :D

Something like, tick, tick, tick... One million dollars, five million, one BILLION..
Because frankly, i hope its growing to be a huge number. You all (IC and SD) deserve it. You deserve our cash for what you are doing to both the game scene and the way you work as a publisher.
Such service, forum presence, and support has never been matched before. Well done!

one BILLION

I think it's an interesting idea and the sales figures may not be too bad to show off. It's possible that information may fall under confidentiality though.

Even though i really like that idea i doubt it will happen, as its somewhat a company secret :d

I doubt they would add a cash counter, seems a bit boastful even for a company ;)

Although I *fully* agree with you, I hope this is a huge cash cow for them because they have done a hell of a job! It ain't very often I purchase a game...this...I purchased! So well done again developers of sins! :D

well without disclosing exact figures, there are several milestones that companies generally do 'show off' :)

however as long as you guys have the big progress money bar in the office it's all good :p party below the huge screen, free rounds for every 1000 units sold. everyone going drunk n stuff.

just don't vomit into the distribution server mkay?

It will prolly only be announced if it is some huge ass number, like when Halo 3 passed 3 million copies.....
