While I personally have no qualms about bragging about how incredibly rich I am, I don't know if Canonical is cool with us sharing the sales statistics.

That said, I can tell you that it's selling better than I thought it would. Looking at the hours we've put in, we'd get a better hourly wage by recycling old soda bottles, but it's still more than I expected.

Recycling old soda bottles is a better career move than being an indie game dev, but who cares? :D

Just checked with our publisher, and apparently there will be buttrape from Canonical if we reveal any sales statistics. Sorry. :(

Easy. Here are your sale statistics that I derived using magical psychic powers:

1 < sales < number of atoms in the universe.

I'm close, right?

That is a reasonable approximation, yes.

0 <= sales <= n/p
n = atoms in the universe.
p = atoms in the product.

You're assuming we've made at least 1 sale. We have actually given a couple away, so if they count as negative sales, it would be something more like:
-10 < #sales < #(computers running ubuntu 10.10 or higher)

genericdave used 1 <, and you didn't see a problem with that, so I just used that. ;)

I don't see how giving some away would count as negative sales, but OK. :P

-10 < #sales < #(non-servers running ubuntu 10.10 or higher) :P
