For those that followed the news on Shack's front page, you saw the article pointing to Frictional's blog / postmortem release of Amnesia. In a quick recap, they had various projected levels of sales based on how well the game would review. It turns out the game reviewed better than they had hoped, but sales are not scaling with great reviews like they thought would happen. Furthermore, one of the reviewers leaked the full game onto torrents a day before it was released (which by itself is really, really shitty). So they said while they're happy with how the game is doing, and the future is looking "good", they were not yet financially secure for their next project.
Well as it turns out, the world IS full of some great people and over at the steam forums, http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1436470 , people are gifting the game to others and asking them to do the same in return. It seems to be having a positive affect as Amnesia has re-entered Steam's current top 10 sellers list.
Thought this was a cool story worth sharing.
