This quickly became Outlast&#8217;s goalpost. <\/p>\n<p>But when sales for Outlast began to die down, Red Barrels co-founder Morin decided to reach out to Grip for some advice in how to navigate the changing tides of Steam: \u201cHe explained to us the dynamic of Steam, and when you do promotion, it spikes back up, [then] goes back down, and basically your sales curve becomes like a roller coaster.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Everything worked out in the end thankfully. With Outlast going on to meet its initial target and earning enough money to pay the team &#8220;pretty significant bonuses&#8221;. The Outlast series would eventually smash that target, selling millions of copies with its Whistleblower DLC, sequel, and multiplayer game all proving successful in their own right. <\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"0047ef5c-cc84-11f1-ac9b-e7c82a7ae8e1\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/amnesia-the-dark-descents-co-founder-explained-the-the-dynamic-of-steam-to-red-barrels-after-outlasts-sales-slowed-down.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"0047ef5c-cc84-11f1-ac9b-e7c82a7ae8e1\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/horror\/amnesia-the-dark-descents-co-founder-explained-the-the-dynamic-of-steam-to-red-barrels-after-outlasts-sales-slowed-down\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three of the most influential games from my childhood were Pok\u00e9mon HeartGold, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Outlast.
