Fall Guys
Can someone add fall guys to this list. Multiple sources have said Fall Guys has sold around 7 Million copies, which is more than enough to be added to this list. Examples: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/368911/Fall_Guys_has_surpassed_7_million_sales_on_Steam.php https://www.ladbible.com/technology/gaming-fall-guys-ultimate-knockout-reaches-amazing-steam-sales-number-20200827

What a mess of list
Considering the dates of the games
- First, it considers the sales from every source (for example Thexder)
- then it considers lousy source of information (for example Hydlide), that it also considers the sales of every port.
- And for this year (2020), we are considering 3 games. Fall Guy (10 million), Cyberpunk 2077 (4.5 million) and Crusader King 3 (1 million). Why Crusader King 3 where there are many games that sold more than 1 million this year?. It looks cherry picked, the same than other games of the list.

- This list is only meant to include PC specific sales. Which is why Cyberpunk has been added, since we have a source denoting PC sales. If you have reliable PC sales information for other games, feel free to provide. It's not cherry picked, we simply can't all be omniscient. If there's games that are inappropriately sourced, by all means, we can look at remove them. -- ferret (talk) 14:19, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thexder removed, no good. Hydlide's source may be questionable, but it's adding up PC ports to 1 million. I've left it for now, certainly can be discussed further. We don't require 1 million sales on a single specific PC platform, just that it is PC platform. -- ferret (talk) 14:28, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
Improving the list
I’ve noticed that a decent chunk of the list items featured questionable and unreliable sources and I would like to help update the list to more accurate figures and have new reliable sources. I Am Hunted (talk) 16:59, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- Check out WP:VG/S as a starting point for sources that are reliable. -- ferret (talk) 17:16, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks I’ll take a look I Am Hunted (talk) 17:38, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
I’ve decided to merge cells. I moved games with the same sales figures and merged the series cells and I merged cells if the game was published and developed by the same studio. Do you this this is a good idea or not? I Am Hunted (talk) 01:39, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
