Newell himself stated in 2012 that Portal 2 had shipped more than 4m units. Why does it even matter how much a game ships? If 1.7m of those 1.8m are unhappy, it doesn't tell you anything. Most people bought it because it looked cool and was a launch game. No one I know - and I mean that literally - had Turok for PC. People were talking so little about it that I didn't even know it was released for PC, and the guys didn't even bother to download it. We were playing the fuck out of Fallout, Blood, Diablo: Hellfire, Ultima Online, 688, Dungeon Keeper, Carmageddon, Age of Empires, Symphony of the Night, Goldeneye, Monkey Island 3, Pax Imperia, Hexen 2, I-War, Imperialism, Interstate 76, MDK, Longbow 2, Myth, Redneck Rampage, Lands of Lore, The Last Express, Jedi Knight, Starfleet Academy, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, Total Annihilation, Tomb Raider 2 and Wing Commander 5 in 1997... man, I'm not surprised no one I know gave a shit about Turok. And it was released in November for PC, which is very close to 1998. And I don't need to tell you about the year 1998 in video games, do I?
