Yeah I'm not impressed yet, this doesn't mean anything.Grounded is now the #1 best selling game in the World on Steam and the #2 most watched game on Twitch on its launch day

Whoa. Congrats @Obsidian pic.twitter.com/KfCOKcvNdI
Don't count Obsidian out!
Game peaked at 12k players on steam first day which isn't particulalry amazing, #1 on the charts could be any kind of sales numbers especially when there's no deals running. Heck, valve index is #3 and I doubt that's selling much. On top of this, steam reviews so far are mixed (only 60% positive).
It also seems to be doing well on twitch solely because some big streamers are playing it, they probably got paid to do it and if not I doubt they'll stick around for long.
Its a decently good start for sure but this doesn't mean its successful. At least its going to avoid the fate of games like Rocket Arena.
