Troika’s Leonard Boyarsky Talks Sales Figures

Troika joint-CEO Leonard Boyarsky stopped by the RPGCodex forums to address GameDAILY’s reported sales figures for the company’s three games. From the sounds of it, the numbers are slightly inaccurate and skewed due to the amount of time each game has been available:

I don’t have any actual numbers at hand (nor do I know whether I can reveal numbers per our contract, since I don’t have that with me at the moment either), but to the best of my knowledge, ToEE was our best seller – or at least our fastest. The reason it’s difficult to say is because our numbers were often being adjusted after the fact for arcane business reasons (on the publisher’s end). I believe Arcanum is close to ToEE in sales, but Arcanum has been out alot longer and is at a much lower price point. Vampire hasn’t been out long enough to really judge how well it will eventually do, as our games tend to continue to sell (as do all RPGs) longer than most.
