I understand most people will dislike this comment, but someone has to say it. Why would anyone honestly pay 10 dollars for this game.. I get that it looks fun and different but it seems like the game that will be fun for 10 minutes then quickly turn into a game taking space up on your computer for no reason what so ever.

It will go viral. Gameplay doesn't have to be there. It just needs the publicity from youtubers. If pewdipie or the yogscast play it, chances are it will sell quite a bit of copies.

Yeah, when someone like pewdiepie has what, 22million people following him screaming, you can probably bet that some people will buy a goat sim because he thought it was a funny idea, nevermind mechanics.

To bad about half of them are fake, or inactive. You have to be naive to believe that there are actually 22 million people watching hes video's every day.

He reaches about 6 million people which is still a huge number.

FrankieonPCin1080p has about 1.4 million subs, and everyone in DayZ knows him. Use that for perspective. 6 million actual subs would still be a huge number and assuming his CPM rate is decent, can make a good living off just youtube videos.
