[quote=Crate]We at Crate Entertainment are thrilled to announce that Grim Dawn has now sold over one million copies on PC, plus over 200k copies of the Crucible arena mode DLC!
In celebration of this epic milestone, we’ve marked Grim Dawn 50% off through our website until the end of May. It is also currently 50% off through Humble Store, during their spring encore sale!
It’s crazy to think that this success story somehow arose from such humble and uncertain beginnings, overcoming so many setbacks and challenges. I repeatedly questioned what I was doing those first three, hard years of development. Looking back, I think the only thing that kept me going on the bad days, was the responsibility I felt to see it through, for the people who had invested time in the project and those who supported us early on through our website. Even with that drive to see it through, no matter my doubts, the later support of thousands more backers on Kickstarter and Early Access, validated what we were doing and gave us a real shot at making the dream a reality.
It was still a long road and lot of sweat and tears, from the 2012 Kickstarter to our 2016 release but I had the great fortune to find amazing teammates who made that journey a lot easier and the game much better than it could have been otherwise. Much thanks must also go to my long-time friends “Rhis,” “Jmack” and Brian Parnell (now working on his own project Praey for the Gods) – without their early help; Grim Dawn may have never got off the ground.
Since the release of Grim Dawn, the Crate team has grown to 14 developers. We’re now working to finish up the Grim Dawn expansion and, because we can never seem to make things easy on ourselves, we’ve started some other projects as well.
We’re looking forward to getting the Grim Dawn expansion into the hands of fans and we can’t wait to share news about our future projects. Until then, keep perfecting your builds, collecting those crafting mats, making morally questionable quest choices and remember it’s not healthy to spend too much time in the void!
...Oh and try not to piss off any gods (or do?), keep away from Loxmere and don’t eat too many untouched meals – who knows where they’ve been!
Sincerely,
Arthur and the Crate Team[/quote]

I posted this because this is honestly one of my favorite ARPGs of all time. Grim Dawn is made by the same guys who made Titan Quest and it's honestly a blast. It's also one of the early Kickstarter success stories.
The game is currently half off ($12 or something like that?) on Humble to celebrate! [url]https://www.humblebundle.com/store/grim-dawn[/url] (it seems the steam sale hasn't started yet, not sure if there will be one)
And well deserved it is. It's a bloody good time, that Grim Dawn. I haven't played it for a while, but I'm definitely going to dive back in when the expansion hits.
Thanks for sharing this, gonna tell my gf to buy it for me now :D
Love me some ARPG's.
Grim Dawn seems like a pretty good game but I could never really get into it. Glad to see it's doing well, you could tell the devs were really putting work into it.
Replay value is pretty high too.
Played a gun toting pyromancer, shit was so fun.
If you guys want any help with builds or general game info, the Discord is a great place to ask questions! I'm a regular there and while I'm at work right now, the regulars there are really nice.
I currently am nearing a thousand hours in the game and I only picked it up under 5 months ago after years of my friend telling me to get it.
The devs regularly update the game with free content and user suggestions, they're really in touch with the community. There's also a good modding scene (which also inhabits the Discord server with the major mods' devs being in there).

You don't feel that powerful at the start for most builds, but later in the game it gets really active and hectic, it's great. It's a shame the start feels really slow.
If anyone wants to give the game a second try, I'll be willing to play multiplayer with you all tonight when I get home!
To be honest I liked Titan Quest better, but Grim Dawn is still a pretty cool game.
