"Kingdom Come: Deliverance" Year's First Gaming Blockbuster, Sells a Million
Medieval RPG "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is on course to becoming 2018's first gaming blockbuster. The game sold over a million copies in its first week since launch, with the PC platform amounting to 45 percent of the sales, through Steam. The sales data was compiled by SteamSpy, accounting the first week of sales since the game's February 13 release across Windows (PC), Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 platforms. Czech developer Warhorse Studios debuted with the game, which is published by Deep Silver.
In related news, the game already received its first major patch, version 1.2.5, which fixes controller issues on the console platforms, such as an unresponsive R2 button; bugs in quests with Hans Capon; and bugs in the "Ginger in a Pickle" quest. "We're about one million when I count all the platforms and distribution channels. We certainly thought about one million. The number is surprisingly positive, but it's not something we thought we could not achieve," said Martin Frývaldský, CEO of Warhorse Studios.

There are more effective ways to put some national pride in there; such as small easter egg-like content; a Town Crier having some lines, for example.
They would have been exceedingly rare and a wonder to behold for all the locals.
This want the modern world. Populations were exceedingly static. Even the Ottomans hadn’t reached that region yet. I just have to shake my head that there is a controversy in the first place.
