Bulkhead Interactive

And then apparently, yeah, 2 million copies have been sold, which is out on Steam right now in early access, which is funny.

This is from a British studio called Bulkhead Interactive.

which previously released some not great games, to be honest, you know, honestly.

But apparently they've really taken to heart what they'd learned on some of those other titles and have been really pushing this one hard.

publisher

is, but it's not being developed by them.

So Bulkhead Interactive is the studio that's developing it.

Yeah, it's interesting.

Profit is down 29% to 23.9 million pounds.

However, Team17 parent Everplay expects strong full-year results due to the success of, yeah, Bulkhead's Wardogs and Expression Games' Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

Everplay says it actually increased its stake in Bulkhead.

They previously had a 20% stake.

They don't know how big their stake is now, but they've increased their stake following the launch of Wardogs.

Wardogs has, of course, sold two million copies.

You can watch our interview with, um, uh, the Wardogs, uh, CEO, the Bulkhead CEO, who made Wardogs now on thegamebusiness.com.

Elsewhere, Valve has opened a waiting list for its new VR system, Steam Frame.

But first, War Dogs' incredible success has seen it sell 2 million copies after just five days of release.

Bulkhead's tactical first-person shooter released in early access form on Steam on September 10 and was an instant hit, reaching a peak of 428,666 concurrent players and becoming one of the most played games on Valve's platform.

It sold 1 million copies on day 1 and 1.25 million by day 2.

Thank you all.

Beyond humbled, Bulkhead said in a post on social media.

We made a game we wanted to play with friends.

Watching you play it with yours has been the best.

User reviews are now very positive after initial complaints around launch problems.

If it's even true, by the way, which again, I think it probably is, and it would make sense to do it.

And if I were battle devs, what the fuck, what's their name? Bulkhead, I would have done the same thing.

Of course, yeah.

Yeah, get in there.

anyway

um yeah i don't understand it

yeah it's crazy it's crazy but that was uh another big part of the problem as to why uh or probably why they were getting review bombed i think mostly it was because people just had to wait in queue and it wasn't like the smoothest launch ever but i could have expected so um Bulkhead's line, for what it's worth, was that the queue was not broken.

They just weren't given triple A tier rate limits by Valve.

Shout out to the, uh, the team, uh, over at War Dogs.

Bulkhead and Team 17.

Uh, they are-

Yeah
