Garry Newman (@garrynewman) April 21, 2016According to a tweet from Newman, sales increased by 74 percent when a update was released and overall player count nearly doubled for a period, "which is a opposite of what most said would happen," he tweeted.
Typically when updates roll out, like last year's which introduced randomly assigned skin color and faces, there'd be a slow but steady increase over months, rather than a sudden uptick. Newman tells Kotaku which outward of Steam sales, he's never witnessed these sorts of numbers before.
"We're seeing a lot some-more positivity around a change than negativity," he says. "It's still a bit of a novelty right now, but I'm guessing in another integrate of months it will just exist but acknowledgement just as a skin color stuff." Let's hope he's right.Car Stereo Santa Barbara
