The postapocalyptic Wasteland 2 has already earned $1.5 million after just four days of availability, via Eurogamer. This sales success follows a fruitful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter that helped fund development of the game. It earned $2,933,252 from supporters after initially asking for $900,000.
