While Portal 2 continues to amaze and/or infuriate gamers, the first Portal has been able to boast a significant achievement. The original comedy-puzzler has sold nearly four million copies since it released in 2007, and that’s not including Steam sales.
For a game that was an underdog on The Orange Box, the success of Portal has been terrific to see. Not only is it a genuinely interesting concept, it’s also one of the best written games ever. To see it become a success — one that hopefully carries over to Portal 2 — makes me think that there’s hope yet for originality and talent in the game industry.
So yeah, congratulations! I think it’s been earned.
