Terraria Passed 20 Million Copies Sold
Back in 2011 a small indie game would hit the scene and become a gaming sensation. Terraria, developed by Re-Logic, was this game. For those of you who don’t know Terraria, the game is a 2d sandbox/fighting/building/crafting game which is stuffed full of content. As Terraria holds a soft spot in my heart, I was excited to hear Re-Logic announce that Terraria passed 20 million copies sold. Some interesting points from the announcement below:
