Episode 1 copies sold?

[Dario D.]

I'm just curious, if anyone has any idea how many copies Ep1 has sold so far... or, should I say, how many copies have been downloaded.

Google and forum-search didn't turn up any results.

Not exactly, but it seems to be going well.

Oh, I see. I wasn't aware that it was also available in stores, but since it is, that changes everything. I was hoping to find figures on how many copies were sold over Steam, thinking that it was the only way to get it.

As awesome as Ep1 was (while it lasted), I had the impression - thinking that it was only available over Steam - that Valve was too afraid to release such a short expansion pack in stores. When I buy a game in stores, I automatically trust that it's going to be longer than 5 hours, but when I download it over Steam, I'm ready for anything, and nothing surprises me.
