Sand Publisher Sells 300,000 Copies, Celebrates With Humorous Air Conditioning Remark

The publisher of the survival-crafting game Sand has announced it has sold over 300,000 copies across all platforms. This sales milestone was shared by the publisher via a social media post, humorously stating, 'We getting a half hour of air conditioning tonight!' This remark likely references the often meager profits of independent game development, contrasting the significant sales figure with a modest reward.

The announcement follows a recent update for the game. The update, which initially caused connection problems and had to be rolled back, has since been re-released and is now live again. Details regarding the specific content of the update were not provided, but its successful relaunch coincides with the sales celebration.
