Not much of a secret that. It was (I'm not sure (like, literally not sure, I haven't much idea how much it did and should've sold) about huge, but a bust nevertheless). However, recently it has gotten a lot of publicity with all sorts of sales (like on Steam and such) and new platforms etc., and I'd wager that the amount of people who have the game has grown considerably, maybe even multiplied. Not to mention the people who maybe don't own the game, but have heard positive things about it (and so could be prospective buyers, were the game marketed decently).
