Rust, the survival game created by Garry Newman and Facepunch Studios have sold 750,000 copies in the international market as of today.
Those copies were sold in a month and a half; that’s two-thirds of what Garry’s Mod sold in eight years. Rust has also been the top-seller on Steam for almost two weeks, placing just above DayZ, according to the Steam sales chart. Facepunch never expected this, as IGN reported.
In Rust, like its competitor Minecraft, player must gather resources to survive and craft all items within the game, with the exception of any starting gear. Players gather resources such as cloth, food, and wood, which can be obtained from chopping trees with an axe. Other items come from the wildlife found throughout the island.
On the Rust Status Report #002, Newman said that “the amount of people playing has kind of given us a sensory overload. We see all these amazing things happening, voices from all directions, ideas, bugs, cheaters.. and we’re scrambling to catch up with everything. So please don’t be offended if we’re not doing what you want us to, if we don’t respond to emails or tweets, if we’re not administrating the servers properly
It must be noticed that survival games are a hit in the market with DayZ just behind Rust and Minecraft’s PS 3 edition also taking a big share of the gaming market.
