Renegade Kid says Dementium Remastered sales “have been very low so far”
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 23 Comments
Renegade Kid co-founder recently made some comments in which he said sales have been disappointing for Xeodrifter and Moon Chronicles on the 3DS eShop. Unfortunately for the developer, it also appears that Dementium Remastered is off to a slow start.
In an interview with We Got This Covered, Watsham said that the game’s sales “have been very low so far.” He added that they’ve been “Much lower than I expected.”
Watsham’s words in full:
“The sales of Dementium Remastered have been very low so far. Much lower than I expected. My expectations were based on how our other games have sold, and as such were already quite conservative. I am very surprised that they are lower than my conservative projections. We will still continue with releasing the game in Europe and also release Dementium II Remastered, but the sales results definitely make us pause with future development on 3DS beyond Mutant Mudds Super Challenge and Treasurenauts, which is very unfortunate. In an ideal world, I would love to continue developing games for 3DS. It is my personal favorite console to play games on, but if we can’t generate enough revenue from our games to cover the cost of 4 people with no office space, then something must change.”
