Indie astro-construction sim Space Engineers rockets past 1M copies sold

It takes light one year to travel 6 trillion miles. It takes Space Engineers one year to sell 1 million copies.

Today, developer Keen Software House, which produces the hard sci-fi astro-construction game, revealed that Space Engineers has surpassed 1 million copies sold since its release one year ago. The $20 game first debuted on the digital-distribution network Steam’s Early Access portal, which is for incomplete software that players can pay to start testing immediately. Since then, the sim has found a dedicated audience, largely through word of mouth.
