PC Building Simulator rigs up more than 100,000 in sales

People love to build virtual PCs, and that has propelled PC Building Simulator to sales success on Steam. The Irregular Corporation, which developed the business-management game, revealed today that it has sold 100,000 copies of PC Building Simulator in its first month. That’s a major threshold for something that would appear to have niche appeal. It is available now on PC for $20, and it is in Steam’s Early Access portal for unfinished games.

In PC Building Simulator, your uncle leaves you his failing PC-repair shop. It is up to you to build up a list of clients who need a variety of fixes and upgrades to perform all kinds of tasks. While you will spend most of your time taking pieces out of machines, troubleshooting, and putting rigs back together, the core mechanics of PC Building Simulator come down making enough money for your shop to grow … or at least afford rent and utilities.
