======================

Paradox Development Studio announced today that Hearts of Iron IV, its World War II themed strategy wargame, has sold 500K copies worldwide since its release in June 2016. This milestone follows record sales for Stellaris, Europa Universalis IV and Crusader Kings II, once again confirming Paradox as the premier developer of computer strategy games.

Fredrik Wester, CEO of Paradox Interactive, said:

“The PC remains the primary platform for games of this nature. Even genres that have traditionally been seen as niche can find a large audience, if a developer is dedicated to quality, variety and learning from both previous experiences and the community at large.”

Hearts of Iron IV recently saw the release of Together for Victory, the first major expansion to the game.

Lead Designer Dan Lind added:

“As a result of this success we are able to take advantage of extra time to add tweaks and polish to the game. Our community has high standards, and we will work hard to to live up to their expectations in the coming weeks and months. We really want HoI to be the best it can be for our fans.”

Yeah, it's pretty much the best market for those AA budget or niche games. Can't wait to try Tyranny.

Great news, I hope for more high quality games from them

Everything can find an audience on PC, because it has everything.

No shit.

Transistor, SOMA, Firewatch, Sniper Elite, XCOM 2, Shovel Knight (minus 3DS), Octodad and more where the majority of sales compared to consoles.

Paradox games are great, stellaris has sold more than 700k copies according to steam spy and the numbers are still rising.
